Proof eco-extremists don\u2019t want to fix the problem, they want to tear down society.<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, Harvard University has shut down a Bill Gates-funded geoengineering experiment. The controversial Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, run by professors David Keith and Frank Keutsch, aimed to study the potential future implementation of geoengineering by crop dusting sulphuric acid into our stratosphere. Nice.<\/p>\n

Even if you put aside the almost instant validity such an experiment would give to conspiracy theories like chemtrails and HAARP, it still sounds a bit too much, playing with our thin air like that \u2014 in an unprecedented, and potentially catastrophic, manner, too.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not kid ourselves. The plug wasn\u2019t pulled over fears of playing fast and loose with the venusformation of Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Nor was it due to the Harvard faculty\u2019s occasional (yet frequent) dalliance with plagiarism or concerns over the lack of diversity within the ivory tower.<\/p>\n

No, according to the MIT Technology Review, it was something else entirely: \u201cEven studying the possibility of solar geoengineering eases the societal pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions,\u201d it clarified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Harvard Crimson picked up the scent too, noting that \u201ca vocal minority of scientists have voiced concern that [the experiment\u2019s] technology may provide an excuse to reduce pressure to cut emissions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the irony. Fixing \u201cclimate change\u201d without destroying capitalism and everything the West stands for does nothing for the revolution.<\/p>\n

What a waste of a good crisis!<\/p>\n

It turns out, the climate change business thrives on more climate change alarmism. Whodathunk?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Harvard Crimson cited a \u201cvocal minority of experts,\u201d among them Chris Field from Stanford\u2019s Woods Institute for the Environment. Field insists that cutting emissions swiftly is the only way to save the world and, even if geoengineering \u201cworked spectacularly,\u201d it still wouldn\u2019t address \u201call the impacts\u201d of climate change.<\/p>\n

What impacts? Well, fortunately, a letter from the Saami Council, representing indigenous tribes from across the Nordics and Russia, to the SCoPEx Advisory Committee spells it out: \u201cthe irreversible sociopolitical effects that could compromise the world\u2019s necessary efforts to achieve zero-carbon societies.\u201d<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s what we have in our hands, a new rendition of the classic Mexican standoff: technocratic geoengineering, economic planning, and social revolution, all aiming guns at each other.<\/p>\n

The fear? If the hoi polloi believe a tech fix is close, they might second-guess the need for human sacrifices to overthrow capitalism and appease the gods of the weather.<\/p>\n

Raymond Pierrehumbert, a physics guru at the University of Oxford, sums up the thinking, casting geoengineering as a \u201cpainkiller,\u201d or perhaps an iron lung, risking to distract the Tide pod-drinking generation from fighting the good fight. Lucky for us he\u2019s a physicist, not a physician.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the ETC Group, an extreme climate fundamentalist cult, screaming apocalypse if we even think about geoengineering.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese experiments amount to scenes in a high-stakes political theater,\u201d said pastor Jim Jones, I mean Jim Thomas, ETC\u2019s mouthpiece. Thomas is concerned the experiment is a grand scheme to trick the populace into rolling out the red carpet for big money. He has a point.<\/p>\n

Even Greta Thunberg throws her two cents in, with her usual doomsday charm. \u201cNature is doing everything it can; it\u2019s screaming at us to back off, to stop \u2014 and we are doing the exact opposite,\u201d she said about this specific experiment. A study in non sequitur.<\/p>\n

David Keith of SCoPEx, in defense of his work, compares geoengineering sceptics to the naysayers who once argued against airbags, claiming they would encourage reckless driving.<\/p>\n
