Skepticism Is Not a Conspiracy When the Plan Is to Alter the Sky
Climate activists are no longer satisfied with regulating power plants, banning appliances, or restricting the cars Americans drive. Now, some companies want to manipulate the atmosphere itself by spraying sunlight-reflecting particles above the clouds.
As POLITICO reports, the growing push has united skeptics on both the right and left who worry that the risks could outweigh any promised benefits.
Yet they still call those on the right conspiracy theorists.
Climate radicals are driven by narrow objectives: lower temperatures at any cost and make people pay for it. Little attention is paid to what these experiments could mean for public health, agriculture, rainfall, local weather, or the communities forced to live with the consequences.
That is the same mentality behind so many failed climate policies: act first, dismiss critics, and worry about the damage later.
No private company, activist, or government agency should be given a blank check to experiment with the environment on this scale. When the consequences could affect millions of people, skepticism is not a conspiracy theory.
It is basic common sense.
