Bill Gates spent the pandemic pretending to be a doctor.
Now he's funding research into something far more dangerous.
And Bill Gates revealed one scary plan to play God that would wreck everything.
Gates Funds Research to Literally Block the Sun
The Microsoft billionaire masquerading as a health expert now wants to play atmospheric scientist.
In an interview with Axios last month at Caltech, Gates admitted he's been funding geoengineering research into sun-dimming technology.¹
"Yes, I've been a funder of trying to understand geoengineering," Gates told Axios.²
Gates has funded Harvard's solar geoengineering program, though much of his overall funding in that area remains undisclosed.³
The idea involves releasing sulfur particles into Earth's upper atmosphere — copying what volcanic eruptions do naturally — to reflect sunlight back into space.⁴
If that sounds insane, congratulations on maintaining your grip on reality.
Gates says this sun-blocking should only happen when the planet reaches so-called "climate tipping points."
That means whenever bureaucrats decide the crisis is bad enough.
"The world would then need to reach for some other type of intervention," Gates explained.⁵
Here's what Gates and his billionaire buddies are proposing: spray sulfuric acid into the sky to dim the sun.
What could possibly go wrong?
When The Simpsons Did It Better 30 Years Ago
Anyone who watched The Simpsons in the 1990s remembers "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"
The villainous Montgomery Burns — Springfield's richest and most evil resident — hatched a scheme to block out the sun over Springfield to force everyone to buy electricity from his power plant.
"Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun," Burns declared in the 1995 episode. "I shall do the next best thing: block it out."
The animated show treated this as the ultimate act of cartoonish supervillainy.
Thirty years later, Bill Gates is proposing the same plan with a straight face.
The difference is Burns wanted to sell more electricity.
Gates wants to "save the planet."
At least Burns was honest about his motivations.
The Microsoft founder has become a cartoon villan.
We Already Know Exactly How This Disaster Plays Out
Gates and his geoengineering friends don't need to run experiments.
History already gave us the answer.
In April 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted in the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history.⁶
The eruption killed nearly 100,000 people instantly.
Volcanic ash lingered in the atmosphere so long that 1816 became known as the "Year Without a Summer."⁷
Global temperatures dropped by 3 degrees Celsius.⁸
Founding Father Thomas Jefferson carefully documented the catastrophe from his Virginia farm.
On September 8, 1816, Jefferson wrote to former Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin describing conditions that summer.
"We have had the most extraordinary year of drought and cold ever known in the history of America," Jefferson wrote. "In June, instead of 3¾ inches, our average of rain for that month, we had only ⅓ of an inch. In August instead of 9⅙ inches, our average, we had only 8⁄10 of an inch."⁹
Then Jefferson described the temperature: "The summer too has been as cold as a moderate winter."¹⁰
The cold wasn't just uncomfortable — it destroyed crops across the country.
"In every state North of this there has been frost in every month of the year," Jefferson continued. "In this state we had none in June & July. But those of August killed much corn over the mountains."¹¹
Then came the terrifying reality: mass starvation loomed.
"The crop of corn through the Atlantic states will probably be less than ⅓ of an ordinary one," Jefferson wrote. "Every species of bread grain taken together will not be sufficient for the subsistence of the inhabitants."¹²
Crops failed across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Tens of thousands died from famine and disease.¹³
This is what Gates wants to replicate on purpose.
The Climate Cult Never Learns
Gates mercifully admits he doesn't see sun-dimming technology as imminent.
"No way am I pushing the world in that direction," he claimed.¹⁴
But Gates funding this research at all proves the dangerous arrogance of the climate change movement.
These people think they can set Earth's thermostat like adjusting your home's air conditioning.
They believe their computer models trump 200 years of documented history showing volcanic cooling causes crop failures and famine.
Americans learned during COVID what happens when unelected experts and their billionaire backers control public policy.
Gates and Anthony Fauci destroyed small businesses, closed schools, and locked down the economy based on recommendations that proved catastrophically wrong.
Now Gates wants Americans to trust him with technology that could trigger global food shortages.
The climate cult operates on the same principle as every other leftist power grab: they know better than you.
Humans need sunlight to survive.
Crops need it to grow.
But Gates and his fellow billionaires think their wealth qualifies them to redesign Earth's weather systems.
Thomas Jefferson watched Americans nearly starve to death when a volcano dimmed the sun for just three years.
That should be the only experiment result Gates and his geoengineering friends ever need.
