Forget Russia. Forget even communist China and Islamomaniacal Iran. If one country is a threat to the others, it could be once-great Britain under rule by leftist kooks who are pressing forward with experiments to dim sunlight through geoengineering:

Outdoor field trials which could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere, or brightening clouds to reflect sunshine, are being considered by scientists as a way to prevent runaway climate change.

The only thing running away is the imagination of moonbats.

As so often in life, the problem is not the problem; the problem is that people think it’s a problem — although whether these people really believe in the global warming hoax is doubtful. Leftists pretend the weather is a perpetual crisis so as to justify seizing our property, lowering our standard of living, and regulating us into a straitjacket.

Plots of the sort Dr. Evil might hatch don’t come cheap:

Aria, the Government’s advanced research and invention funding agency, has set aside £50 million for projects, which will be announced in the coming weeks.

There will be zero benefit to British taxpayers — but potential harm to the entire planet.

The Experts believe that pollution over shipping routes made clouds brighter and therefore more reflective, resulting in dimmer sunlight. They even say that international regulations to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions caused an increase in global warming.

More unintended consequences can be expected if ideologically driven fanatics deliberately tamper with the atmosphere to fix something that isn’t broken.

Any product can be greenwashed, including beer. The Boulevard Brewing Company is celebrating Earth Day all week with an event entitled “Brew & Renew”:

From zero-landfill facilities to pollinator-friendly programs and partnerships with Ripple Glass, the Kansas City-based brewery is offering immersive tours that highlight its commitment to environmental responsibility…

Ripple Glass recycles glass bottles.

By the end of the tour, participants should have a better understanding of sustainable brewing methods and how minor adjustments can have a significant environmental impact.

If you find the global climate satisfactory, thank Boulevard Brewing Co. But thank a Phoenix area brewer even more:

SanTan Brewing Company is on a mission to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for a cleaner Earth and better beer. To achieve this mission, SanTan has invested in an Earthly Labs System that recaptures the carbon dioxide that is naturally produced by the fermentation of its beers. The CO2 is then stored as a liquid and repurposed to carbonate SanTan beers. Additionally, SanTan has installed a nitrogen generator which will purify the ambient air and eliminate the use of CO2 for purging aluminum cans, kegs and tanks at its production facility.

Next, SanTan employees might be forced to wear special gasmasks that capture the harmless CO2 they exhale, similar to fart-capturing and burp-capturing devices moonbats want to impose on cows lest they make it be too warm outside.

In the olden days, beer was judged by its taste. But liberal virtue signaling is more important in these enlightened times. However, this sometimes results in unintended consequences, as when Bud Light lost $1.4 billion by putting the face of the gut-wrenchingly repulsive Dylan Mulvaney on their beer.
