Description: “Modern man talks of a battle with nature, forgetting that, if he won the battle, he would find himself on the losing side.” ~ E.F. Schumacher. Mankind has a fascination with attempting to control nature to fit our way of life, whether well-intentioned or not. It’s no different with the weather and climate. And with climate warming continuing to accelerate and 2023 likely to be one of the warmest in recorded human history, the die is cast for the grandest of human experiments, even arguably beyond nuclear weapons. This episode dives deep into the similar but different acts of weather modification and geoengineering. We define the terms, discuss examples of active weather modification, debunk chemtrails, talk about proposed geoengineering research, and cover the three biggest reasons why we should be worried about a geoengineered world. Who gets to decide when their part of the world is too dry, too wet, too hot? Just add a few chemicals to our atmosphere, Earth’s chemotherapy, to control the thermostat, right? What could go wrong?
