No question that it is a serious proposal. I read a couple of articles about the proposal and some of the best minds in climate science have said it is worth looking at. They almost seem desperate to buy some time to work on the cure. One likened the project to chemotherapy, destroying the pathogen while they search for the cure.
My interest is in the fringe groups. They have been going off on Chem Trails for a few years now. I am just surprised by the lack of any comment to this story. When it broke a couple of weeks ago, (at least that is when I saw it), I expected to see a blow up of postings about going mainstream with a covert process .. or some such thing. I suspect I have just not gotten to the right news group or web site. I know there are others here that monitor the fringe and so I was hoping to find a comment from someone else about where they had seen a response.
If no response?? How odd! It seems a natural to me that they would link the two.
