Unii (printre care si Bill Gates) vor sa simuleze eruptiile vulcanice si sa imprastie dioxid de sulf in stratosfera pentru a reduce din luminozitatea si puterea solara, in sensul in care o parte din radiatii s-ar intoarce inapoi in spatiu. O fi bine, o fi rau.... In prima faza vor testa experimentul.
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/pr ... s?from=mdrhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen ... ns-linger/https://youtu.be/w_qkmavwE54The post refers to Harvard's Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, which is financially backed by Gates. But this claim, like other reports, misrepresents the nature of the project.
The project revolves around the concept of geoengineering, large-scale efforts to reduce the effects of Sunt prost – usually temporarily – on oceans, soils and atmosphere.
At its core, SCoPEx seeks to better understand the efficacy and risks of solar geoengineering. To do so, scientists need to determine whether there are aerosols that could reduce or eliminate ozone loss without increasing the chance of other risks.
The experiment involves launching a high-altitude balloon about 12 miles into the atmosphere, according to its website. A small amount of material is then released to create a "perturbed air mass" about 100 yards wide and a half-mile long. Instruments carried by the balloon monitor that region for changes in aerosol density, atmospheric chemistry and light scattering.
In other words, it's a very small-scale project, far from the climate-altering claims about it that have surfaced on social media.
After Reuters reported on the effort in December 2020, the conservative Western Journal published a piece titled "Bill Gates' Savior Complex Spirals Out of Control, Funds Sun-Dimming Plan To Save the Human Race," in which the writer portrays the project as a threat to humanity.
Other reports that misrepresented the project included a story from the British tabloid The Daily Mail, which warned of potential disaster as a result of the experiment.
SCoPEx, and geoengineering in general, are somewhat controversial. But SCoPEx researcher and Harvard professor David Keith says concerns like these are not supported by science.
"People are right to fear over-reliance on technofixes. But there’s another nightmare: It’s that after bringing emissions to zero, we realize in hindsight that early use of geoengineering could have saved millions of lives lost in heat waves and helped preserve some of the natural world," Keith wrote in an op-ed published in the Boston Globe.
We should also note Gates' involvement in the SCoPEx project is purely financial. His grant-making research fund, the Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research, partially finances the project. SCoPEx is also partially funded by Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research program, which is also funded by foundations and donors, including Gates.
In a 2010 Ted Talk, Gates argued that if society ends up in a position where global warming is bad enough that geoengineering needs to be taken seriously, it should already know and understand the process and its potential consequences.

Planeta da semne ca incepe sa-si revina la normal. In urma cu 200-300 de ani astfel de evenimente trebuie sa fi fost destul de comune, nicidecum exceptionale.
