  You want Snowpiercer?  'Cause this is how you get Snowpiercer.
context: "Some potential investors and customers who have reviewed the company’s proposals say that it’s not a serious scientific effort or a credible business but more of an attention grab designed to stir up controversy in the field." >
  
  There it is. >
  
  This smells like an ill-informed PR stunt >
  
  
  This company did not get government approval
  They are planning to make money off of this
  Scientists have condemned their plans
  The CEO of the company has stated “We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult,” >
  
  It's also a scam. They aren't doing anything. Just a PR stunt. >
  
  Well technically they are in fact releasing certain particles in the air that tweak the climate. That is what breathing does.
  No proof that whatever else they are doing is any more impactful though. >
  
  Earth: Fuck around with the atmosphere and find out… >
  
  I'm all for stopping climate change. But haven't we learned it's well beyond our ability and maybe we should just stop fucking with it and let it heal itself. I don't want my kids to raise thier kids in unbearable heat or on a giant snowball because we fucked up fixing climate change >
  
  Well yes, but our efforts did help billionaires become bigger billionaires and buy a fifth yacht. That is most important. >
  
  Yup and simply stoping putting shit into the atmosphere doesn't make anyone money so it is fought against tooth and nail. >
  
  So what you're telling me is that oil and coal companies should rebrand themselves are environmental startups... >
  
  I did not have Snow Peircing on my 2023 bingo card. >
  
  So this needs to be illegal. The science is nowhere near settled on atmospheric manipulation. Not to mention that if it does work it should be done by the federal government at the very least and probably the UN at best. Everyone in this company needs to be thrown in jail asap. >
  
  Oh, this is going to end well... >
  
  This is like the startup idea I had to release wolves in New York to address the rat problem. Ran into issues while it was still in the pre-profit stage, in the funding and resourcing areas. Sounds like I should give Ycombinator a call. >
  
  Sounds fun! What do you then release to address the wolf problem? >
  
  Rednecks >
  
  In New York? They'd be lost and confused. They'd starve not knowing how to eat the pizza. >
  
  Did nobody read about Ice9?? >
  
  Or Termination Shock? (It's a book.) >
  
  My thoughts exactly >
  
  Called it.  It was inevitable, and has been for over a decade, that a single country or corporation would do this. It works and it's too cheap. 
  The main danger is that it causes a mini ice age and billions starve to death. Rug up, kids. >
  
  They finally did it! They built a weather-controlling death ray! /s
  What is this, and episode of Flash Gordon? >
  
  When factual science is compared to deathrays and flash Gordon.
  They've been pretty public about weather manipulation, i mean I did just link a UN hearing but if you want to throw your head in the sand and tell yourself none of its true then you're not hurting me any. Lol >
  
  When "weather manipulation" and "chem trails" are used in the same context as "scientific facts". >
  
  I refer you to my previous sentence.
  
  i mean I did just link a UN hearing but if you want to throw your head in the sand and tell yourself none of its true then you're not hurting me any. Lol >
  
  Like I'm going to waste my time watching a YouTube video about chem trails, from what appears to be the 80s.
  If my head is in the sand, yours is firmly planted up your own ass. >
  
  And have you actually clicked on that link, or taken the time to read up on what weather modification actually is?
  It's pretty straightforward, and a far cry from chem trails.
  And regarding the use of "chem trails": Why use the term at all? And why then, link to a video that uses the term, in the sensationalist way that everyone is familiar with?
  My head isn't in the sand. The only thing I'm denying is that chem trails are real, and that you have a valid point, here. Weather modification may be a real practice, however it is nowhere near as nefarious as you and others are suggesting. >
  
  Activities subject to reporting.
  (a)The following, when conducted as weather modification activities, shall be subject to reporting: 
  Seeding or dispersing of any substance into clouds or fog, to alter drop size distribution, produce ice crystals or coagulation of droplets, alter the development of hail or lightning, or influence in any way the natural development cycle of clouds or their environment;
  Using fires or heat sources to influence convective circulation or to evaporate fog;
  Modifying the solar radiation exchange of the earth or clouds, through the release of gases, dusts, liquids, or aerosols into the atmosphere;
  Modifying the characteristics of land or water surfaces by dusting or treating with powders, liquid sprays, dyes, or other materials;
  Releasing electrically charged or radioactive particles, or ions, into the atmosphere;
  Applying shock waves, sonic energy sources, or other explosive or acoustic sources to the atmosphere;
  Using aircraft propeller downwash, jet wash, or other sources of artificial wind generation; or
  Using lasers or other sources of electromagnetic radiation.
  Yes, the term chemtrails is typically used in a sensationalist way and is heavily pushed towards conspiracy theories, that doesn't mean any of the above things listed aren't happening while there's a form in the above link for you to report your activities of such.
  Would you have disagreed with what I stated about weather manipulation had I not used that specific term, thats honestly a bit broad, even though it has such a negative stigma (see your reaction to my usage ig) >
  
  ah yes let's "change" the "'climate" more. i'm sure that won't have disastrous consequences like every other time humans try to manipulate natural systems they don't understand entirely. >
  
  Apparently, neither the movie nor the show. >
  
  Without telling anyone, and without even knowing if it works. >
  
  While I think this is a scam and a PR stunt, I also think scientists should be studying this option. >
  
  There are some scientists that do study this they just haven't figured out if it's viable and controllable basically they're not sure that if they could do this if it wouldn't go out of their control and be a new problem
