‘God help us all’ is the only thing I can think of saying. Apparently so called ‘experts’ are gearing up to spray sulphur aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight, in the hope of cooling our planet and brighten the clouds with sea salt particles. 

At first, I thought I had been watching the sci fi film ‘Armageddon’ almost expecting Bruce Willis to save the day. Sadly, this is actual news, and our government is set to give the go-ahead within weeks. The idea, as far as my neanderthal brain can gather, is to try and mimic what happens when a volcano erupts and pushes particles into the atmosphere. Although, I’ve always believed that volcanic eruptions have a negative impact on human and environmental health, causing suffocation, respiratory and infectious diseases.

Whilst this isn’t a new concept, I feel the public deserve to know what folly is being planned. Gambling with nature could be disastrous and I can only see dire consequences and catastrophic disruption if this is to be allowed, with researchers also warning it could increase side effects such as acid rain. For centuries our weather has been inconsistent to say the least. Nature focuses on life-giving and we need to embody it, we should express awe and appreciation for the natural world. No person is as wise as Mother Earth. In fact, from now on I intend to embrace Earth Religion – I believe in Mother Nature.

Although I have always tried to stay ‘middle ground’ – this horrifies me. Perhaps I’ve travelled back in time and this is really an April fool’s joke.
