⚡️🇬🇧 ALERT - “Experiments to dim sunlight to fight global warming will be given the green light by the [UK] Government within weeks.

Outdoor field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists as a way to prevent runaway climate change.

Geoengineering projects which seek to artificially alter the climate have proven controversial, with critics arguing they could bring damaging knock-on effects, as well as being an unhelpful distraction from lowering emissions.

However, scientists are increasingly concerned that carbon dioxide levels are not falling fast enough and that further action may be needed to prevent catastrophic warming.”

Do these fools know how many clouds there are in the world at any given time? Fucking stupid

Only climate models are able to predict cloud albedo at any moment in time. This utterly complex parameter is a fixed value in these models.

This is no joke.

Yet the CERES satellite data shows declining cloud albedo for the last decades. Models ignore this little detail because emulating cloud formation would crash the simulator.
