Gates has funded Harvard&#8217;s solar geoengineering program and suggested such measures might be necessary if the planet reaches critical climate tipping points. Though, the article argues that attempts to manipulate the Earth&#8217;s climate, such as injecting sulfuric acid particles to mimic volcanic cooling, are risky and arrogant. It highlights ancient evidence, like the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption that caused the &#8220;Year Without a Summer,&#8221; leading to widespread crop failures and famine, to warn against tampering with natural systems. the piece expresses skepticism about climate change as a severe threat and critiques the influence of wealthy elites and scientific authorities in shaping public policy, urging caution against relinquishing control to them based on past experiences like the COVID-19 pandemic.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Heaven save us from billionaires who have a God complex.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/12\/01\/bill-gates-sun-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a> last month at Caltech, Microsoft founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/deep-dive-bill-gates-told-damning-climate-change-truth-hiding-plain-sight-decades-cold-kills-10x-heat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill Gates<\/a>, who frequently masquerades as a doctor or scientist, admitted that he has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-doge-subcommittee-under-mtg-examines-geoengineering-and-weather-control\/\" title=\"House DOGE Subcommittee under MTG examines geoengineering and weather control\">funded geoengineering research<\/a> and that someday the world might need to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >deploy sun-dimming technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gates said that this deployment should occur only when the planet reaches what Axios called &ldquo;climate tipping points.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In that event, Earth&rsquo;s inhabitants &ldquo;would then need to reach for some other type of intervention,&rdquo;

<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bill-gates-says-trump-discussing-gene-editing-vaccines-white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gates<\/a> said, though he regards the research as potentially &ldquo;quite valuable.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Axios added the obligatory caveat about how &ldquo;[r]esearchers need a clear understanding&rdquo; of the technology&rsquo;s potential effects.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, however, we already have that understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Sun-dimming would likely involve &ldquo;injecting sulfuric-acid particles into the upper atmosphere, mimicking the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions,&rdquo;

After all, we already know how that works and what happens afterward.<\/p>\n<p>In April 1815, the violent eruption of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/year-without-summer-mount-tambora-volcanic-eruption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Tambora<\/a> in Indonesia &mdash; the largest in recorded history &mdash; killed nearly 100,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>Volcanic ash lingered in the atmosphere for so long that contemporaries called 1816 the &ldquo;Year Without a Summer.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 73-year-old Founding Father Thomas Jefferson made his usual assortment of scientific recordings &mdash; daily temperatures, rainfall amounts, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[T]he great prices given for tobacco have produced great preparations for the present year, which however will be baffled by the weather,&rdquo; Jefferson <a href=\"https:\/\/founders.archives.gov\/documents\/Jefferson\/03-10-02-0034\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> in May 1816. &ldquo;[T]he spring has been unusually dry and cold.

[R]epeated frosts have killed the early fruits and the crops of tobacco and wheat will be poor. [A]bout the middle of April they had at Quebec snow a foot deep.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Four months later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desantis-unveils-new-thomas-jefferson-statue-celebrate-founders-key-role-250-years-ago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jefferson<\/a> compared Virginia&rsquo;s summer to a &ldquo;moderate winter.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have had the most extraordinary year of drought &amp; cold ever known in the history of America,&rdquo; he <a href=\"https:\/\/founders.archives.gov\/documents\/Jefferson\/03-10-02-0263\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>. &ldquo;[I]n June, instead of 3&frac34; I. our average of rain for that month, we had only &#8531; of an inch, in Aug. instead of 9&#8537; I. our average, we had only 8&frasl;10 of an inch. [A]nd it still continues. [T]he summer too has been as cold as a moderate winter.&rdquo; [graf 3]\n<p>Then, he noted that Americans faced the prospect of starvation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[I]n every state North of this there has been frost in every month of the year; in this state we had none in June &amp; July,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;[B]ut those of Aug. killed much corn over the mountains. [T]he crop of corn thro&rsquo; the Atlantic states will probably be less than &#8531; of an ordinary one, that of tobo still less, and of mean quality.
