WESTERN JOURNAL — Bill Gates is now best known for wanting to save us from ourselves.
Now, apparently, he wants to save us from the sun too.
Bill Gates, for those of you who don’t follow these things, has been big on both vaccination and pandemic prevention.
Fair enough. That certainly means his moment has arrived.
However, he’s about as much of a lockdown guy as you can get — which is just fine if you’re a billionaire who can afford to hide away as if this were Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death,” but the real-world consequences for the rest of us can be very problematic.
Now, according to Reuters,
“Harvard plans to test out a controversial theory that global warming can be stopped by spraying particles into the atmosphere that would reflect the sun’s rays.”
The project represents one of the most controversial aspects of what’s known as “geoengineering” — the idea that, to tackle issues like climate change, massive aspects of our ecosystem can be played with or changed. In this case, it would involve reflecting some of the sun’s rays to stop them from reaching Earth.
