    Treatment for climate change surprisingly inexpensive, study finds

    Every since WWII people have been dreaming of actually controlling the weather, and every year their computer models get more complex, but they really don't have the Big Picture yet, much less, all the little ones. Meteorologists are still discovering basic facts and know their models are all still fucked up, and even the mathematics are not there yet. So, these guys propose a relatively cheap fix for climate change, that's the first proposal of its kind, and we'll just have to see what the fuck happens. Dr Strangelove saving us from climate change is not a terribly great idea, but things are getting more desperate.

    Why spend $2,000,000,000 dollars when we have HAARP or High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program which was specifically designed to control the weather?

  3. Consider that every element, molecule or compound that exists does so in every environment we have. In air, rock or water they are all there, in one form or another. The proportions are different, naturally. And we have exchanges between environments as well. The most common being the water cycle. Another is the carbon cycle. Carbon is all over our atmosphere from elemental, CO2, soot and dust to isotopes and undiscovered compounds.

    Carbon is tossed into the environment by anything that burns. An unsung player in that game is underground coal fires. They burn for decades and have been around since well before humanity. In smaller cases they have been extinguished by humans who were choking and going broke at the same time. But the really big ones in China (massive examples), the US (large and small around 200 over 21 states) and others like New Zealand. They're all over the planet. So are volcanoes.

    So, with no hope of being able to put some of the really big ones out, what can be done. Capturing the heat to make energy is not as lucrative and easy as it seems. The fires emit all manner of toxic and corrosive chemicals and gases. But there are other ways they can be used; as weapons.

    First of all, if you pump water into a burning coal seam, the water will be vaporized almost instantly. You could pump Lake Erie into one of the Chinese fissures and all you could get is superheated steam that ejects 10 to 15 miles into the atmosphere at supersonic speeds. It would pull all the localized gases with it, including the oxygen. But killing off the locals would not be the plan. They'd have been evacuated long before and the only people around are dressed like astronauts and operating the hydraulic pumping stations. The weapon is the massive plume of hydrolyzed toxic gases as well as nitric and sulfuric acids. As they cooled, their upward course would be impacted by the jet stream into an arc. At the other end of this poisonous rainbow, Canada and the USA!

    This could be accomplished on just about any scale from slow death over decades to a rapid, 5-year collapse of everything people, animals, plants and insects need to survive. It's all a matter of how big the cloud can be made and how toxic. Which is only dictated by the water supply and how much can be pushed how far down. The column of steam would be adding water to the atmosphere faster than evaporation. Where that vapor condenses becomes a serious weather pattern Icy hurricanes from Alaska to Cabo San Lucas. But, weather can also return the favor and drop all the shit back on whomever was stupid enough to try this.

    After all, Mustard Gas was abandoned because sometimes the wind blew it back into the faces of the bastards who launched it. But then, that's how the slow plan can be implemented on a smaller scale. Just pump water into a coal seam in Pennsylvania, for decades, and watch the localized nightmare in real time. Maybe even claim to be trying to put it out if you get caught. The weather will ease it eastward thanks to prevailing winds. Then the Atlantic will push it back to shore, around Washington!

    Has anyone noticed if there are ever any protesters at these horrible sources of carbon in our atmosphere? Maybe coal fires can be tied to racism? Somehow?

    Ah yes. Lets give the power of controlling mother nature to the ruling class.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    What they are calling the Forth Industrial Revolution is beginning. Someone just invented a room temperature superconductor, while someone else invented the first thermal diode, or Maxwell's Demon capable of moving heat from a cold source to a hot one, without expending any energy in the process. They can play with the temperature of the entire planet all they want, without expending any energy in the process, but only those in the new self-contained bomb shelters might survive the process. It increases their value.

    The link is suggesting what anti-warming people and the right wing have since day one.

    That somehow science will fix it and the free market will mean someone will see how they can profit from it. I'm confused on your issue.

    They will say anything for a buck, which is why its important to encourage them not to reproduce.
