Defiant in the face of personal attacks and death threats, his attempt to launch the first experiment into the stratosphere has divided the environmental community, spawned the viral chemtrail conspiracy and inspired a rogue start-up company to begin their own deployment. As he drives this idea out of the lab and into a planet in the grips of a climate meltdown, are there any ideas too risky to explore? <\/p>\n\n
