Hanson-Haber? I searched for it, found lots about geoengineering, and also the patent itself, for somebody named Hanson.

Hanson-Haber? I searched for it, found lots about geoengineering, and also the patent itself, for somebody named Hanson. I was really searching for "Haber", because I wondered if it had anything to do with the "Haber process", or even Fritz Haber himself. Well, yes it does. Obviously, I hadn't read far enough into your article yet when I did that. But I did wait until I was done to post this, and I didn't re-quote from the patent about the process. (A.K.A. Haber-Bosch.)
Congratulations on finally learning to spell "Wigington". I went through the same thing.
"Haber" brings to my mind WWI chemical warfare, the Haber Process, and the "Green Revolution". Here's a quote about Haber from Science History Institute:
Of course there is no possible connection between what's being sprayed on us now (or in the future) and poison gasses, so not to worry.
I didn't bother searching for a quote for "Green Revolution". Think synthetic chemical fertilizers bolstering the industrial farming behemoth, saving us from starvation and poisoning the world through substitution of not-exactly-food for what we used to call food, turning us into not-exactly healthy. Or something like that.
(By the way, I almost always avoid Wikipedia. It's OK if you use it, though. I struggle along with Britannica Online -- paid subscription! -- feeling extremely safe because everything is fact-checked by their editors, rather than directly by the CIA. And thanks to my father I had the print version at home in my upper grades, decades before the Internet went public. Fond memories of evenings before papers due the next day.)
I can certainly understand why Hanson would want to have Haber's name associated with his own right there in the patent. Who does he work for, I wonder.
Operation Paperclip 📎. The majority of nazi scientists were brought to the US after WW2. They were seeded into the university system and the alphabet agencies. If you want to know how this country became so evil we need look no further than this disgusting bit of hidden history.
Or Project Paperclip. It certainly appears to have been a milestone in our "progress" toward where we find ourselves today, operating from "the ends justify the means".
I do think we already had a more than a few problems before that. The tendency is to highlight the obvious bad guys, but our underlying problems run much deeper than that.

"Although he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the synthesis of ammonia, Haber was controversial for his role in developing Germany’s poison-gas program during World War I." (https://www.sciencehistory.org/education/scientific-biographies/fritz-haber/)
Nice guy. Here's another quote about him:
"For a crash course in irony, look no further than the life of Fritz Haber, the Jewish chemist whose scientific research led to the invention of Zyklon B, the cyanide-based pesticide used in death camps during the Holocaust—including against his own family." (https://www.jta.org/jewniverse/2017/this-german-jewish-scientist-led-the-way-to-zyklon-b)
