The Dimming — Who Gave Them the Thermostat?

Send us Fan Mail CONTENT NOTE: This episode is about real, documented solar geoengineering (solar radiation management) — the deliberate effort to cool the planet by reflecting sunlight. It deals in the public record and clearly separates what's documented from what's rumour. Living people are discussed on the basis of their documented public conduct only. There's a company. A real one — a handful of people in South Dakota, backed by venture capital. And what they do, right now, today, is send balloons twenty kilometres up and release sulphur into the stratosphere to block a little of the sun. They call it Make Sunsets. They sell "cooling credits" — ten dollars a gram. They've done it hundreds of times. And nobody — no government, no parliament, no vote of any kind — ever gave them permission to start changing the sky above all of us. For years, "they're spraying things to dim the sun" was the punchline of every joke. Now it's a business with a patent. Tonight, Mark and Grim separate the real from the rubbish — and the real is more than enough. The documented story: solar geoengineering, the tripling of research funding, the EPA's move against a rogue start-up, Mexico's ban — and the fact that Bill Gates has genuinely, on the record, funded research into dimming the sun. The scientists' own nightmares: "termination shock," the machine you can never switch off, the monsoon that fails two thousand miles downwind. And the question with no good answer: who gets to change the sky over eight billion people, and who said they could? The bioweapon, the graphene-5G mind-control, the nanobots — Grim explains exactly why thats the powerful's best friend, not yours: it's the smokescreen that makes anyone asking real questions sound insane. No poison in your veins tonight. Just a real, unsettling truth: the sky has quietly become something a few people believe they own. From the shadows. Stay curious, stay sceptical, and keep watching the sky — the real one. 🎧 The Evident Conspiracy Files · TheECF.co.uk · Follow us on X Support the show Our new show - GRIM STORIES - is now available... https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/grim-stories/id6794635228
