In June of 2022, I posted an article about some of the things that have occurred as a result of man trying to improve scientifically on the work of Mother Nature. I am not against science, but I think that sometimes we get way out over our skis.
The article detailed a few times mankind has tried to improve on mother nature and the results:
Over the years, men have done things in the realm of nature that have not exactly worked out as they planned. The Marine Mammals Protection Act of 1972 resulted in a dramatic increase of the seal population off off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. That was a nice gesture to save the seals, but it resulted in an influx of great white sharks in the area because of the increased food supply for the sharks. There is also the example of kudzu, which was introduced to Americans during the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876 where it was touted as a great ornamental plant for its sweet-smelling blooms and sturdy vines. From the 1930’s to the 1950’s the Soil Conservation Service promoted it as a great tool for soil erosion control and planting it was encouraged throughout the south. Kudzu is now recognized as an invasive plant and has killed multiple trees throughout the southern United States. Gypsy moths came from a scientist in Massachusetts who was trying to breed a more hearty breed of silkworm to create silk for America. A few escaped and have the resulting moths have now gone as far south as New Jersey. It’s not good to mess with mother nature.
Our track record in the area of improving the work of Mother Nature is not good.
On Sunday, BizPacReview reported the following:
The Biden administration’s fervor to radically transform America’s energy infrastructure to battle the alleged global warming apocalypse has spurred the White House to consider an idea that could have come directly out of a science fiction disaster movie, blocking out the rays of the sun, a risky scheme but one which is increasingly popular among the climate cult crazies.
In a new report that was released on Friday, the regime expressed an openness to solar radiation modification, a geoengineering theory that could reduce the effects of climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth’s surface, a concept that could come with potentially dangerous consequences, not the least of which would be to trigger the climate doomsday that the hysterics are trying to prevent.
“A program of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation,” the report said. “SRM offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years.”
The report, titled “Congressionally-Mandated Report on Solar Radiation Modification,” was published on the White House website and lists methods of geoengineering known as “stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening” being considered to block the sun.
However, the White House noted that the review was done according to a congressional directive and that “there are no plans underway to establish a comprehensive research program focused on solar radiation modification.”
Hang on to your hats; this could be a VERY bumpy ride.
