Why Geoengineering Is No Longer a Theoretical Debate
Insights from experts on the science, governance, and consequences of geoengineering

By: Idaho Gang of Eight

Today in the Lincoln Auditorium, the Gang of Eight hosted an Informative Presentation on Geoengineering. The discussion examined the origins and evolution of geoengineering, its policy implications, potential health impacts, and ways lawmakers and citizens can respond to increasingly aggressive “climate change” interventions.

We were pleased to hear from a diverse group of experts who approached the subject from scientific, environmental, medical, and policy perspectives. We were pleased to hear from the following experts who covered the history of geoengineering, how to push back against progressive “climate change” policy, health implications, and more!

Jolle Diane

Lead researcher and director at ZERO Geoengineering. She works with communities and their legislators at state and national levels to enact public safety and clean air initiatives such as the Clean Air Preservation Act – initiatives to counter the progressive climate change policies and experiments.

Chase Anderson

Board Certified Master Arborist. Former Snake River Hotshots firefighter in Pocatello, TCIA Qualified Trainer, TRAQ, and CTW climate specialist.

Marla Crisler

A pioneering expert in Clinical Microbiology and Hematology, with a deep focus on exploring how modern technology, environmental factors, and synthetic chemicals or toxins are impacting human biology. With a wealth of experience, Marla bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world health solutions. She is willing to have the conversations academia chooses to ignore. Marla is also the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Scientific Officer for Abeytu’ Naturals®.

David Musnick MD

Over 36 years of expertise in Sports and Internal Medicine, including 30 years in Functional Medicine. He specializes in Orthopedic Sports Medicine, Functional Immunology, Homeopathy, and Functional Neurology, developing innovative approaches to diagnosing and treating joint, tendon, muscle, nerve, and brain-related conditions. Renowned for his work in osteoarthritis, cognitive decline, concussions, and long COVID, Dr. Musnick has treated thousands of complex cases and is a respected author and national speaker.
