They don't yet know how it works? But they are already telling everybody how 
to make it? Burning the planet to cool it?
If it were not for the very name which comes under the heading of 
"new-speak" in Brave New World more people might wonder if it worked at all 
as do I. Bio means life and char means coal and freedom is slavery and war 
is peace.
