I'm sure that, somehow, this will be discovered to be bad for global worming/climate change.
Keeping the radio waves inside the more potent ionosphere will add to the heat inside the greenhouse. On the other hand, fewer waves will leak out into space, which make a beacon to extraterrestrials undocumented foreign immigrants who want to come in and vote for Hillary.

Doping the ionosphere with clouds of plasma to control the radio wave reflection properties may seem silly at first (maybe it is). But what happens in a peer-vs-peer conflict when the orbiting satellites get turned into clouds of fragments?

Why don't they control the guns in Chicago? Don't they have any laws? Does the NRA control the City?
A less sarcastic person might actually wonder about that...

To some this may appear strange or uncivilized, but it is a product of cultural natural order. The norms of modern civilization are not applicable. Do not interfere or undermine the process of self-correction. I can assure you, your involvement will not be welcomed. Please move along.
[AnNahar]. Around 110,000 people have fled to Uganda from South Sudan this year, most of them escaping fighting that erupted anew last month, the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... said Friday.
The UN's refugee agency said it was "extremely worried" about South Sudan's rapidly escalating displacement crisis, warning that neighbouring countries and humanitarian groups were struggling to meet demands.
Roughly 82,000 of those who have sought refuge across South Sudan's southern border in 2016 have moved in the last five weeks, UNHCR said.
The influx was sparked by renewed fighting between the government forces of President Salva Kiir and those loyal to ex-rebel chief Riek Machar.
Another 100,000 South Sudanese have fled north this year into Sudan, but most of that movement occurred earlier in the year and was partly linked to food insecurity.
Overall, more than 2.5 million people have been driven from their homes since South Sudan's war erupted in December 2013, including 930,000 who have fled to neighbouring countries, UNHCR said.
"What you are seeing in South Sudan is now the world's fourth biggest refugee situation" behind Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia, UNHCR front man Adrian Edwards told news hounds in Geneva.
Those fleeing to Uganda in recent weeks -- 90 percent of whom are women and kiddies -- have increasingly reported being targeted in robberies and sexual assaults, UNHCR said.
"Armed groups are also reportedly abducting children aged 12 and above from schools and threatening people," the UN agency added in a statement.
Uganda, which has long been a landing spot for South Sudanese refugees, is working to expand reception centres and camps near the border.
But some sites are already hosting five times the number of people they were designed accomodate.
UNHCR said its $609 million (546 million euros) response plan for South Sudan is only 20-percent funded.
[DAWN] MINGORA: Police on Thursday tossed in the clink Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! 13 members of a jirga for giving an eight-year-old girl in swara to resolve a family dispute at Gornai area of Bahrain tehsil of Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... district.
According to Mohammad Tariq, an official of Bahrain cop shoppe, the jirga members gathered at Gornai village of Bahrain tehsil and decided to give an eight-year-old girl to a minor boy of the same age to settle their longstanding family dispute.
Following a tip-off the police reached the spot of the jirga and arrested all the 13 people who mutually agreed to give the girl ’in marriage’ to a male member of the rival family.
"The jirga members include elders from both the families and the nikahkhawn. We have registered an FIR against all the 13 people," said Mr Tariq.
According to local sources the dispute started between the two families since a daughter of one Darya Khan eloped with Abdullah ,who is the girl’s brother. "On the request of both the families, the jirga decided to settle their dispute so Abdullah’a sister was given in marriage to the rival family," said Inamullah, a local resident of Gurnai.
The custom of swara is practiced in the remote areas of upper Swat where majority of people are unaware of the laws against it.
Tabassum Adnan, a women rights activist, said that there was a need for creating awareness among the people to stop the practice of swara.
