In the midst of deepening environmental crisis, Teller offered a quick affordable fix. Dusting off a<br />

proposal first suggested by scientists in the 1960s and ‘70s, Teller urged the conference on planetary<br />

emergencies to adopt his updated magic bullet. “We have to do it now,” he urged.<br />

Everyone present listened intently to one of America’s most prominent scientists, whose last horrific<br />

invention had mingled with Soviet plutonium to contaminate every square mile on Earth.<br />

Long enamored of massive engineering projects, Edward Teller had earlier proposed detonating<br />

“peacetime” atomic bombs to carve harbors and canals out of U.S. coastlines. Now he presented an<br />

even more grandiose geoengineering scheme. Why not, Teller urged, spray a protective chemical<br />

“sunscreen” into the upper atmosphere?<br />

Computer simulations conducted at Lawrence Livermore showed that if enough reflective particles could<br />

be suspended in the atmosphere to deflect just 1% of incoming sunlight, runaway “greenhouse”<br />

warming could be stopped in its tracks. This chemical cloud cover would also greatly reduce levels of<br />

potentially lethal ultraviolet rays at the same time.<br />

It could be done. With the Cold War officially over and nearly 700 air-to-air refueling tankers in its active<br />

inventory, the U.S. Air Force had the planes and the personnel to conduct a sustained aerial spray<br />

campaign.<br />

PARTICULATE POLICY<br />

In sheer weight and frightening scenarios, the 1992 National Academy of Science study for the U.S.<br />

Government rivaled a Stephen King horror-fest. The hefty $80, 944-page report on the “Policy<br />

Implications of Greenhouse Warming” included chapters on “mitigation” – the including geoengineering<br />

schemes championed by Freeman Dyson, Edward Teller and others.<br />

Produced by an ominous-sounding “Committee on Abrupt Climate Change” – comprising heavyweight<br />

oceanographers and atmospheric scientists from the USA, UK and Switzerland – this massive study<br />

opened like a clap of doom, warning: “Large, abrupt climate changes have repeatedly affected much or<br />

all of the earth, locally reaching as much as 10°C change in 10 years.”<br />

To put this into heart-lurching perspective: the 1°C warming experienced in the 20th century was a very<br />

big deal, triggering Extreme Weather Events, widespread droughts and the movement of some 25<br />

million “environmental refugees”. A 3°C jump in average temperatures will end daily life as we know it,<br />

turning weather into Nature’s vengeance as rising sea levels drown the coasts where most people live.
