They don\u2019t want to name the actual aerosol these experiments will dump in the sky \u2014 not in one sentence. Instead, they hint suggestively that sulfur dioxide comes off ships and makes clouds brighter from space, which is a nice way of saying that pollution from diesel makes clouds darker from Earth. See how this works? Bad-sulfur-dioxide needed regulation and created jobs (and the UN was very<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shippingaustralia.com.au\/imo-2020-regulations-led-to-77-drop-in-sulphur-dioxide-emissions\/\">\u00a0proud of itself for getting rid of SO2<\/a>). Now good-sulfur-dioxide needs grants and creates even more jobs.\u00a0 SO2 just needs a makeover. So, gasp, it\u2019s a common thing in jet exhaust. Did he just admit that we could all fly more and \u201csave the planet\u201d? The WEF won\u2019t be happy about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Sebastian Eastham, a senior lecturer in sustainable aviation at Imperial College London, said: \u201cEvery time you fly, sulphur, which is naturally present in jet fuel, is emitted into the lower most stratosphere causing a small cooling effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts are hopeful that if experiments prove a success, they could be scaled&nbsp;up and implemented within 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So they don\u2019t specifically say they\u2019ll be adding pollution to the sky that we\u2019ve<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2772737824000415\">&nbsp;spent the last 100 years trying to get out of shippin<\/a>g. But it\u2019s likely that\u2019s exactly what they\u2019re thinking of. Nearly all stratospheric aerosol injections use sulfur dioxide. Just last week, news came that the project called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/solar-geoengineering-2669008650\">\u201cMake Sunsets\u201d in the US<\/a>&nbsp;uses weather balloons to drop sulfur dioxide in the sky to \u201ccool the world\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest papers blame their success at getting SO2 out of shipping as the reason we got freakish warming that their models didn\u2019t predict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the record, some crazy geoengineering schemes may involve chalk dust, titanium dioxide, and sea salt.
