Holy shit, these people are truly fucking insane.

Partially blocking the sun's rays to cool
the planet may sound like science fiction,
but researchers believe it could help curb
climate change

What’s happening
Late last month the White House released a report cautiously calling for more research into one of the most hotly debated theories for combating climate change: partially blocking the sun to cool the planet.

While it sounds like something straight out of science fiction, interest in what’s known as solar geoengineering has increased in recent years as scientists have become more pessimistic that humans will not reduce carbon emissions in time to avoid the catastrophic potential impacts of climate change.

Solar geoengineering involves a variety of techniques for reflecting certain amounts of sunlight so that less heat reaches the planet’s surface. The most promising potential approach, according to scientists, would involve using planes to release reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to bounce a small amount of sunlight back into space before it reaches Earth.

For crying out loud, that is literally the plot to "Snowpiercer."


Researchers are reasonably confident that solar geoengineering could work. Massive volcano eruptions over the past century or so have served as natural experiments proving that reflective aerosols can meaningfully reduce global temperatures. But concerns about the potential risks of tinkering with the Earth’s natural processes have meant that no known real-world experiments in man-made solar geoengineering have ever been conducted — other than weather balloons released by a startup in Mexico earlier this year, a stunt that inspired the country to ban all research on the topic within its borders.

Right. Trust the government to fine-tune the atmosphere. What could go wrong?

Or... Hear me out... We could just enclose the earth in a giant outer structure, and install a bunch of really big air conditioners... Then install the thermostat in the UN headquarters.

If it gets too hot, we just vote to turn the thermostat down. And if it gets too cold, we can just vote to turn the thermostat up.

Foolproof.

You know, they should make these giant rocket engines that will propel the earth a little away from the sun to combat global warming. It's totally doable. I saw it done in one of these movies.

Bullshit

How bout a comet...That ought to do it!

Should we dim the sun

But then solar panels won't get as much sun....

This is what they did in the movie Snowpiercer, they got the bright idea that they’d release some sort of chemical substance to block the sun and cool the Earth and all they accomplished was a new Ice Age and 99.999% of humanity killed off.

Hey fucktards, how about we just leave nature alone?

Geez, where the fuck is Darwin this century?

Climate change is geek mythology.

Guess you didn't read my whole post.

If I recall correctly, this was the plot of the movie Snowpiercer

Or we could just wait a few thousand years.

Na… that’s why we have sunglasses.

I guess we are still trusting the 'experts' to know more than nature. Humans are fully capable of killing a planet.

Sorry, I didn’t see it until I read it again the second time.

The fact that they’re actually talking about this boggles the mind.

Never fuck with Mother Nature.

How the hell will delicious Dim Sum curb climate change? Sounds like chinese plot.
B6 could be devastating though.
