You can burn rocket fuel to get there, or you can do something really incredible.

We have real time IR scans going out through the Internet while the plane is flying.

Here is the lower atmosphere.

I was here to see the launch of this particular type of instrument.

We're picking up ionization from the upper atmosphere.

But it looks like we could achieve long atmospheric lifetimes much longer than before because they're levitated.

The idea behind this form of geoengineering as it's called, is that, as the planet heats up, we may be able to shoot sulfates and aluminum particles into the stratosphere to reflect some of the sun's rays back to space, thereby cooling the planet.

Here's Mount Pinatubo in the early '90s.

That's its goal the stratosphere, the blanket that really controls the radiation of the earth and permits life on earth to be the success that it is probing that is very important.

I was there to view something called a long duration balloon flight, which basically takes telescopes and instruments all the way to the upper atmosphere, the upper stratosphere, 40 km up.

Now, the skeptics say, Oh, wait a minute, this could be variations in this energy coming in from the sun. If that were true, the stratosphere would be heated as well as the

After that, and some previous volcanoes we have, you see a quite dramatic cooling of the atmosphere.

You can analyze your breakfast cereal for GMO's, and you can explore your ancestry.

There's a bunch of papers going back to the '70s that look at the radiative and ozone ozone destroying properties of aluminum in the stratosphere, and those make you think it might be useful.

Yeah, Arkham Tower.

Arkham Tower.

ENCOM Tower. Huh.

Then put the the purple block on top of that, and then put the green block on top.

But we are filling up that thin shell of atmosphere with pollution.

You could put signed particles, say sulfuric acid particles sulfates into the upper atmosphere, the stratosphere, where they'd reflect away sunlight and cool the planet.

David, where will you be?

There was so much ice in 1992, the following year, that there was a bumper crop of polar bear cubs who were known as the Pinatubo cubs.

What about that tower?

I'll worry about the tower!

Watch those towers, boys.

But it shows that we are interconnected, among many systems on the planet, with the three big systems, climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and ocean acidification being the three big systems, where the scientific evidence of large scale thresholds in the paleo record of the history of the planet.

And a process that would happen in the machine would mean layer by layer that product would be built.

Sheesa up in that tower?

And then, when there is nothing left but sorrow and love of Big Brother, we shall lift you clean out of history, we shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere.

We meet at the base of the tower.

No signal.

I'm gonna draw a rectangle to correspond to the little rectangle I drew on the heart itself.
