Wealthy donors declared they will continue bankrolling efforts to alter the atmosphere to prevent climate change despite initial efforts being derailed by a skeptical public.

Politico reported this week that major groups connected to Wall Street and Silicon Valley have vowed to keep raising money to create innovations and technology that will limit global warming – including methods of brightening clouds to limit the amount of sunlight that enters the earth’s atmosphere.

"The Pritzker Innovation Fund believes in the importance of research that helps improve climate models and enables policymakers and the public to better understand whether climate interventions like marine cloud brightening are feasible and advisable," group founder and president Rachel Pritzker told the outlet about her group’s commitment to find climate solutions despite recent setbacks.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
