Incidentally, the link from Popular Mechanics, said Gates was well into a program concerning sun blocking. While Forbes said the program is already under way.
It hardly seems he would start an effort to play interplanetary games, without discussing it with someone..
Excerpt from the Forbes article, says he has already tossed cash into the effort, an dthe process is ongoing;
"Microsoft’sMSFT -0.1% billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere — a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming.
Reminder; although you may have been addressing me earlier, when TN offered his thoughts they should have been welcomed, after all, this is an open forum to all members. ..And I for one am pleased that he is willing to contribute.
