About this ebook
Mutual global wellbeing clashes up against conservative international business-as-usual climate change policies. In a speculated near future, a consortium of High Impact Climate Change Countries opts to leverage geoengineering, the artificial cooling designed after natural volcanic eruptions, when negotiating climate change agreement with the rich countries of the OECD. As drones threaten anyone on the ground with Hellfire missiles, and as the political agenda heats up, the HICCC consortium selects Vince the story telling engineer and Tami the British Bangladeshi paleoclimatologist to inform Canada of their selection as a go between messenger.

Vince sat back in the meeting room chair. So we speak only to the Niger national scenario,
he said.
Yes.
Any other side effects?
Here in Africa. Or god-forbid back home in Calgary.
Oh yes,
Tamanna said. The scariest thing is, we don’t know all the side effects. We know the ozone layer will take some beating. But politically, we use this project and any predicted side effects to negotiate.
What about the military?
Vince leaned forward. Our Nissan got blasted by that Hellfire missile–say they start zapping at the balloons. Now that could affect our release.
She glanced up from her visiscreen.
You’re the engineer. You tell me.
Well, we’ve designed a mostly nocturnal release. Reduced night-time visibility keeps us hidden. No doubt they have night detection capabilities, but we count on our distribution–we have release points spread all over the Ayăr Mountains. For any military, I’d speculate a statistical nightmare.
This contract was a poles-apart design project, nothing like the oilfield back in Alberta. His contingency plan could replace a fifty percent loss. The sulphur supply line had that restored in a week and same for any balloon damage.
He felt queasy. What if they took him out as a drone target? And just hearing his voice talk this way, full of fear yet excited. Like eco-blackmail strategy...
Good.
She smiled. They’ll worry about media too. Politics.
What about who’s financing? Can we talk about that?
Short answer, no.
So Tami, who is financing? I mean, so many payments are Asian. The Chinese have a high climate change risk index, and other countries bordering China too. India was high, Bangladesh the highest. So it fits.
"Open trust fund. Any country, or individual for that matter, can make anonymous contribution. I tell you the truth, Vince. Any country can leverage any financing towards its own political agenda. Nobody knows who contributes, but everyone knows the
