The Economist promotes chemtrails against climate change, funded by Bill Gates

The Economist promotes the insane idea to poison the Earth's atmosphere with airplaine exhaust gases to fight climate change

In other words: using chemtrails

I totally support this idea. First heard it from the great libertarian economist David Henderson. Much better alternative to a carbon tax or the Green New Deal. Little to no cost.

Another way to offset global warming is geoengineering, which is the use of technology to prevent a given amount of carbon dioxide from warming the earth.

One thing we learned from the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines is that sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere—the eruption discharged more than twenty million tons—could cool the world. In the two years after the eruption, the earth cooled by 0.5 degrees Celsius. What if, some scientists started to wonder, we could put enough sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere to cool the world or at least offset warming? In their 2009 book, Superfreakonomics, economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner devote a whole chapter to the idea. They highlight the work of Nathan Myhrvold, who made his fortune as an early employee of Microsoft, in exploring the various technologies. While none of these technologies is yet being used, if any of them worked it would cost a small fraction of the cost of a carbon tax. But we don’t learn any of that from Nordhaus.

But wouldn’t geoengineering intentionally alter the natural state of the earth? Of course it would. But as Myhrvold points out, that’s what burning fossil fuels does too. I would add that that’s what any manmade solution to global warming—nuclear power, solar power, or something else—would do.
