The essence of climate change involves the absorption profiles connected to wavelength. Think about it.

They plan to "beam electricity down" in the microwave region.

You may think the rest of my remarks a "deflection," but they aren't.. The whole scheme is in "angels dancing on the head of a pin" regions.

It's useless, and it's silly.
