History matters
What counts as knowledge? This new book on the history of weather and climate engineering triggered a 2009 invitation from the US House Committee on Science and Technology to present testimony and answer questions.

Study the past. Without history, technocrats with nothing more than current “best science” perspectives will be running the show and trying to “fix the sky” with some very heavy-handed techniques.
