Faced with widespread backpedaling on the most useless aspects of the climate science cult, hacks like Gwynne Dyer just double down: since we can’t jettison fossil fuels fast enough, let’s just embark on an attempt to do nothing less than geoengineer the weather as if the earth were connected to a house thermostat. What could possibly go wrong?
Cutting our carbon dioxide and methane emissions, while it is still vital, cannot act fast enough….
What can act fast enough is Solar Radiation Management (SRM for short). That includes any technique that reflects some incoming sunlight back into space and cools the planet, but the most promising one involves putting some reflective substance into the stratosphere.
Dyer needs to stick to analysing why kim jong unhinged does things.
we have enough climb ate ‘ex-spurts’
p.s. gwynne. according to the fossil records earth was once a steaming dense jungle tip to toe. as such glow bull warming cd be merely some very drawn out cycle and WE just happen to be in on this one.
factor that in eh?
“I was reading an article about the current wildfires written in a reputable paper by a recognised ‘environmental journalist”
I stopped reading at that point.
“…climate change-driven era of wildfire…”
Let’s see, since wood ignites at approximately 240 degrees C, or ~465 degrees F, I have no choice other than to conclude this entire article is complete bullshit. I know it’s been a hot dry summer, but it’s NEVER been hot enough for fires to start spontaneously.
And yet some people believe this stupidity. Have they never heard of nuclear winter?
Amazing.
Not sure about Canada, but around 90% of the wildfires in Euro countries such as France, Spain and Greece were started by humans, mostly arson. Stupidity and negligence accounted for the rest.
There’s your 240C.
Dyer is easily one of the most retarded ‘journalists’ in history. An absolute fool.
Dyer says “block the sun.” Gates says it, too.
Here’s his stupid comment:
“What can act fast enough is Solar Radiation Management (SRM for short). That includes any technique that reflects some incoming sunlight back into space and cools the planet, but the most promising one involves putting some reflective substance into the stratosphere.”
What kind of ‘reflective substance’? You mean something like those stupid tinfoil things that people set up on their car dashboards?
Never trust people who are afraid of the light.
Oh, and isn’t it mixing theories to talk about El Nino in the context of what ‘climate scientists’ posit?
Also, Dyer looks like Wolfman Jack’s stupid cousin. Still wearing leather, Gwynne?
Dyer says “block the sun.”
Good! We’ll start by sending his sorry, uninformed, ignorant ass into outer space. Where do I contribute?
“…the most promising one involves putting some reflective substance into the stratosphere.”
Like Daffy Duck and his dynamite, that is a trick that only works once. Yes, you can “put some reflective substance into the stratosphere” and reduce surface temperature. Clouds would do it. Plain old water vapor.
But I will take this opportunity to remind Mr. Dyer that the North American ice sheet over Canada was two and a half miles thick, and extended all the way down to Ohio. The only part of Canada that didn’t have a mile of ice over it was a little bit along the border in BC. Difference in average temperature between then and now, six degrees Celsius. Greenland STILL has ice over it.
So if you ooopsie and put a little too much, you can kiss Canada and Russia goodbye. Do I trust Gwynne Dyer and the Canadian government to get it right?
No.
My reply to you is down below.
Dude must be hankering for a woolly mammoth hunting trip.
Gwynne Dyer, touted as their expert on warfare, was the CBC go-to guy leading up to and during Desert Storm where he predicted 40,000 allied losses from the elite “Republican Guard”. I though and hoped he would never be heard from again but alas, he has apparently re-emerged as an expert on climate now including enough hubris to spout entire global climate control solutions. I suppose he is as qualified on climate as Al Gore, Suzuki, Thunberg, and Mark Carney, so, hey, why not?
I met Mr Dyer, back in 1982, when he was filming part of his “War” documentary series in Gagetown. He was a blowhard then, still is, apparently.
Hey Dyer, read the novel “Fallen Angels” It’ll tell you just what happens when dumbasses like you play God with the climate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Angels_(Niven,_Pournelle,_and_Flynn_novel)
Ease off on the reality.
A government worker friend of mine was climate lecturing me and when I brought up the ice age she told me it was millions of years ago while giving me the “I’m fcking nutz” look.
I wonder how many Wuhan shots Dummy got.
When academics/intellectuals leave their lane, we lowly serfs should be able to run them over with our gas-powered cars and trucks.
I read somewhere that the average temperature in London has risen due to the reduction in… air pollution.
Gwynne Dyer. Old Brythonic term meaning “writer for hire”.
Gwynne Dyer, a man about to change colour. “What you gonna do with that shirt?” “I’s Gwynne Dyer!”
All of these people need SRM’s deployed over their homes … and sealed to the ground so no oxygen gets in.
And cloth masks will stop the spread of Covid; as long as you stand 6 feet apart; unless you are rioting and protesting the overdose death of George Floyd, in which case everything will be fine.
“we can’t jettison fossil fuels fast enough”
First, they aren’t fossil fuels.
There are oceans of petroleum on Titan. Maybe they got there by planets that jettisoned them?/
There has been more talk in recent months about doing something to fight the non-existent threat of “climate change” using something other than taxing people to death and destroying western economies by transitioning them from useful energy to useless.
I suspect this is to provide cover for the blindingly obvious use of chemtrails that have intensified greatly over the last several years. I believe they will start changing the narrative and pivot to telling us that they are only now “fighting climate change” by releasing material from airplanes to reflect solar rays or something to that effect.
As Orwell wrote in his book, 1984, the sheeple will simply accept this and carry on, not once considering that those chemtrails were happening for decades. And intensified around the same time as the weird weather became more common, including fires.
The correlation between immigration policy and forest fires is more compelling than that of climate change.
If climate change is such a problem, why would it be good to bring more people over from the 3rd world to live 1st world lifestyles?
Do people who come from countries full of desert wastelands want to bring their way of life with them?
If so, would they want to make this country like the old country by burning the forests down?

Yes, from 2024 a REAL test of real-life chemtrails. Doubters are invited to follow the link from my blog to Slashdot, where the story is still up.
No matter how ludicrous a conspiracy theory seems these days, chances are good that they’re really, actually doing it. It might not be working, but they’ll still try.
