You do realize that the whole point of these projects are to replace the existing fossil fuel plants. Not replace things like Hydroelectric, wind, solar, or nuclear power which doesn't add greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. So by reducing the greenhouse gasses, Microwave or Laser based satellite solar plants would reduce the global climate change impact of humanity, not increase it. The amount of energy added to the atmosphere from a Microwave or Laser based solar plant is significantly less than the energy added because of the CO2 that a fossil fuel based plant adds to the atmosphere. Did you not read my post 3 topics ago? That's the entire point I've been making is that it's a net loss of energy compared to today, thus not increasing global temperatures.

Microwave energy heats water in the atmosphere! That percent doesn’t change much every year. Those issues have other solutions.

Right, so why haven't we seen a massive increase in global warming from the absolutely massive amount of microwave radiation we already produce from cell phone towers, wifi, bluetooth devices, and other modern wireless tech? Oh yeah, because the wavelength is too large to cause such energy transfer. It's the wavelength we use specifically because it's safe, low energy, and passes thru most matter easily without energy loss.

Haven’t we!? Or they’re blaming one cause and not another to misinform the public!?

Ah, so you're one of those. CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas that has caused accelerated global climate change. All of the science agrees and points to it. Only nutcase conspiracy theorist with no actual evidence claims anything else. If we're going to talk conspiracy theories and wild baseless claims without facts and science to back it up, I'm done explaining things to you.

How would they benefit in any wax from such disinformation. Like, there are actually usef ways in manipulating the public, like investing in your secret services, build more surveillance and make classical state propaganda that actually has a purpose and has proven throughout history to work
