Gates
Pays For ‘Artificial’ Clouds To Beat
Greenhouse Gases
The first trials of controversial
sunshielding technology are being
planned
after the United Nations failed to
secure
agreement on cutting greenhouse
gases. Bill
Gates, the Microsoft billionaire, is
funding
research into machines to suck up
ten tonnes
of seawater every second and spray
it
upwards. This would seed vast banks
of white
clouds to reflect the Sun’s rays
away from
Earth. The British and American
scientists
involved do not intend to wait for
international rules on technology
that
deliberately alters the climate.
They
believe that the weak outcome of
December’s climate summit in
Copenhagen
means that emissions will continue
to rise
unchecked and that the world
urgently needs
an alternative strategy to protect
itself
from global warming. Many methods of
cooling
the planet, collectively known as
geoengineering, have been proposed.
They
include rockets to deploy millions
of
mirrors in the stratosphere and
artificial
trees to suck carbon dioxide from
the air.
Most would be prohibitively
expensive and
could not be deployed for decades--
