Jerry Baumchen They still have it. They just choose not to use it anywhere near as much as before. The 'blocking' feature that came with the new format is part of the reason. If you don't like a troll, and are unable to resist feeding them, block them. They won't go completely away. If someone quotes them, their idiotic posts will show up as the quoted section. But it's a big help. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,122 #42 June 10, 2021 Well, in the “let’s fix the symptoms since we’re unwilling to address the cause” department, there’s also some research to see about releasing sulfate particles in the atmosphere to reflect some of the sun. Story here Bill Gates seems to be interested among others. I’d want to know a whole lot more before thinking it might be a good idea. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deliberately messing with a system as complex as the atmosphere seems like a TERRIBLE idea. The consequences for getting something wrong could be catastrophic and I just don’t believe we understand it well enough to be considering something like that. Hell, we can’t even predict the weather reliably. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen quite a few ideas floated about such schemes over the years. Mostly they are just theoretical. I don't believe any attempt to do this would be made unless the world largely agreed and only if we were already in serious trouble. In other words, not till it was too late.
