Whether or not you believe in climate-change, the interesting discussion to me is that climate change is a convenient justification for power-grabs by wannabe dictators. I'm not so sure that the elite will be so ready to give up that lever of control by simply tinting the sky. We'll see, I guess.

Every threat to the status quo is either a convenient justification for such, or a conspiracy theory that a power grab will happen.

Is not "tinting the sky" a power grab in itself? And a pretty darn serious one at that.
