News flash: this has been going on covertly since Vietnam. Back then, it was called "cloud seeding." And it was held to the region of Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia/Thailand. Today, after our weapons scientists studied the effects, it's worldwide. We've been poisoning the skies for at least 50 yrs, probably a little longer.

4 million is nothing compared to the billions that have already and will continue to be spent.

As if they haven't already been putting barium and aluminum salts, polymer fibers, thorium, silicon carbide, arsenic, strontium, and titanium into the statosphere.

these are rookie numbers to mis-appropriate or pay off anyone

I love how they act like this is new science. I can look up in the sky almost every day and see the evidence. I hate these people.

Sulfur dioxide reacts with water (the atmosphere is full of water) to produce toxic or corrosive fumes.

They'd be spraying sulfure dioxide, not sulfur. Sulfur recreacts with water to form the dioxide.

The dioxide itself is a whole different thing, still fucking bad for us but that depends on exposure levels. If you've ever eaten commercial dried fruit, you've ingested some.

And if you are close to a volcano when it belches the stuff and breathe it, you die.

Hmm so they are going slow poisoning route or?

Like I said, it depends on the exposure level.

You need oxygen to live but breath in too high a concentration for a certain amount of time and it'll kill you.

Cool I hope it works and everybody dies. I’ll smile all the way through my own painful death as long as I know it’s taking everyone down too. That’s how I feel about say a school shooting. It’s always a tragedy. Well, when you reason out that most people fuckkng suck. Sure there’s some good ones and that is a tragedy but it’s not the majority. Really that kid just spared somebody nice the misery of running into an asshole. Not to mention he probably killed some bullies so good on him. Grabbing the bull by the horns. We should all be so motivated. The world would be a nicer place if asshole got their heads blown off.
