Chalk is a pretty innocuous thing, that said wasn't johnson and johnson in trouble for failing to disclose that their baby powder, which is primarily chalk, also contained asbestos as a part of the mining process?
Seems to me this is unlikely to be pure chalk, and further as it settles it will cover plants, until a good rain comes, gum up moving parts, and possibly create unexpected road and rail conditions.
All that said this doesn't seem nefarious to me, and it seems this would be absolutely safe to do over the poles and maybe even the southern hemisphere.
You could probably get a cool light show if you fired a couple of hot tracers or an explosive round into these things considering how fine that powder must be.
I'm also curious about the carbon neutrality of this scheme, wont know until this testing is done but if the method covers the effect of harvesting and processing the chalk these people might consider non chalk admixture depending on the effectiveness.
Depending on the atmospheric layer, this could be used for cloud nucleation/seeding, and that wouldn't need be just chalk if we can produce mycelium in bulk without extracting it from other environments we can create seed clouds seeded with protein, sugar, and mycelium powders that could aid in reversing desertification meaning more forrests and eventually more arable farm land.
Thanks for your thoughtful input. I agree with you about them not using pure chalk dust, and I'm wondering if they're going to attach nanoparticles or smart dust to the chalk dust. I'm sure they'll mix it with something. From what I read, silica is about the worst kind of dust you can breathe in. The key is to find an independent scientist that can test whatever it is they're going to poof into the atmosphere once Gates of Hell begins his experiment.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's just contaminated baby powder they got for cheap.
LMAO! No doubt.
Read The Year Without Summer. Obviously we will have a hard time matching the output of a volcano, but my point is that it does not matter where they do this, it has worldwide implications.
I might give it a read. When you say world wide consequences do you mean temperature variations altering jet streams or rain cycle disruption from cloud seeding or atmospheric fallout being a much larger scale phenomena than one would casually reckon? Or some mix of all that?
As to volcanic output I grasp the gulf between our total CO2 and methane emissions but 3-10% of global CO2 is significant it could imbalance the carbon cycle or accelerate natural climate changes.
Im all for reducing humanity's pollution in responsible and sustainable ways, HOWEVER I think 80% of the modern left's tactics and methods are foolish, irresponsible, and ignore the biggest threats.
Increasing oxygen production is vital, reducing noxious and toxic pollutants falling out unto nature, punishing corporations and executives for human and ecological harm, creating a Commission on genetic modification safety and approval which is barred from the use of redaction, dramatically depopulating africa to prevent them from entering a stage of development where they produce electricity and air conditioning en masse, reducing reproduction rates in south asia and china, and south america. Developing waste transportation pipelines which fight desertification, intentionally spreading corals and sea flora and using selective breeding techniques to spread more or better adapted flora into ecologically appropriate regions of the sea floor. Engineering/breeding trees to be used in cities for greenery and shade to fight heat island effects, investing in low upkeep solar power, more sustainable low capital wind power both for home and industrial use, a massive research investment to develop thorium as a safer nuclear power source that we can trust lesser nations with and also assuage fears iver nuclear power in the west.
If the left cared about man made climate change as much as they say we wouldn't be killing western civilization, pushing brown world economic development, trying to make more inefficient energy distribution systems, supporting east asian tech companies and shipping jobs to asia, tolerating disposable technology and appliances and buying new phones every year.
If the left actually cared as much as they pretend to, we would be trying to genocide africa and put south asia, from the levant to the Philippines, on female hormones and that gay/tranny shit and get chinese men to marry their trannies. We wouldn't be allied with OPEC or saudis or Israel we would tell every country to develop their local assets and become fuel independent to reduce transportation waste and accidents. We would be sanctioning the top polluters no matter their economic power or frailty.
I'm tired of mercury in the fish, asthma in our children, oil in the shrimp, and nuclear radiation pouring into the pacific and tainting food supplies.
I'm no ecofascist but I'm sure they'd fawn over somebody like me running for office.
It probably won't be just chalk though. It'll be tainted with something, maybe just certain batches.
