Scientists are proposing an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth's atmosphere.
The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half.
The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth's lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns.

"We make no judgment about the desirability of SAI," the report states.

I'll do that for you: Are you fucking insane?! Load up the atmosphere with sulfate particles? Why don't you spend your grant dollars on finding ways to mitigate man-made pollution? Christ on a cracker.
