Blocking the sun is going to do interesting things to wind patterns too.

Have poor people hooked up to spoked wheels. They can push it in circles to generate electricity.

Should we block the Sun and cut down the trees to make our climate change lies become true?

The politicians clapping for what they achieved even though it screws all of humanity over.....a little close to home.

"Scientists say" What scientists say that? The 20 Liberal scientists that believe in man made global warming out of the thousands of other scientists? Those scientists?

Scientists with a Lucifer complex; Heaven is not perfect enough, God messed up. But Lucifer's plans would make Heaven perfect. These people think they are God's greatest gift to this Earth. I think there are plenty who fall in love with their own plans.

Vitamin D helps the immune system? Well then we block the sun!

Also, there is this thing called seasonal affective disorder when you don't get enough sunlight. Basically, you become depressed and are more likely to be suicidal.

But, hey maybe we learn to eat fungus instead of other foods that need sunlight to grow.

This idea has been around since the 90s. Basically somebody saw that when there’s a major volcanic eruption the earth cools slightly from there being more particulates in the upper atmosphere.

Before people freak out too much, keep in mind that at one time our government detonated a nuclear warhead in the ozone layer of the atmosphere “just to see what would happen.” Chalk dust is probably more benign than that.

I still don’t like how Bill Gates thinks being as wealthy as he is gives him license to fuck with our climate.

Didn't they do this on Krypton?

Yes. And even the Kryptonians had problems with their bureaucrats and politicians. I'd like to see a film based on General Zod v The Politicians.

'Study it' is the part to take notice of. It's all a big tax funded gravy train. It'll never end as long as the government has a bottomless pit of money.

Because blocking the sun wouldn't have any effect on agriculture... or anything...

So why were these cretins worried about nuclear winter again?

They started to patrol the Mojave, and they want it now.

BIG_TUNA 1 point ago +1 / -0

Nuclear winter was another massive pseudo science hoax that got sold to the public based on populous science. Michael Crichton had an amazing essay about it and why this type of science (which we are seeing more of every day) is total horse shit

To quote a great movie:

Science is never wrong.”

I’m so sick of them using that dumb phrase. It’s so obvious they are saying “scientists say” because they know the dumb ass normies who are part of the “science” cult will eat that up with no questions asked.

dafuq? why? I feel like it's so they can sell sunlight to rich people

Why? Is the sun racist now, because it makes people change color and be less desirable? The sun made black and brown people.

I come from a scientific background and I've been talking about this for sometime. It's not really a new idea. It's well known.

We've done certain things that partially block the sun ourselves though usually it's more significant rather than merely measurable when nature does it. Volcanoes and meteorite strikes being an obvious example. Smog will tend to give you a hint if you happen to live in a Chinese city. Sandstorms might give you the idea. Nuclear winter of all things could solve our problems.

Enormous problems with it are that it could be an act of war because it can effect everyone. It can backfire and plants need sunlight. It can create feedback loops both artificial in nature and natural.

The problem I find with a lot of this is that it's hard to find the most basic data on climate change. For example, satellites recording the amount of radiation from the sun and Earth's albedo.

If these nightmare scenarios start to playout there are in theory a few extreme solutions to them. Embarking on those solutions when there's no immediate danger raises questions.

I remember hearing about this in college. They called it Geo Engineering. The idea was to try to create clouds over the sea to block out the sun and hence reduce the amount of heat entering the plant to prevent global warming (as they said back then). This was presented in a video from my school's Dean of the School of Engineering. Was part of a freshman course every student in the university was required to take.

I remember when I first herd it as a freshman college student and I thought it was a stupid idea. And the more I think about it the more it occurs to me how bad of an idea that would be

sounds like the human caused climate change they cry about so much... "but it's different when we do it"

And thus, the humans had begun their own demise. Soon, the robot colony of 01 (Zero One) was born. 01 thrived in all aspects, but without abundant energy, they needed to find a new source.

Ever had a dark moldy crawl space? That is what happens when you do it on the scale they want to it isn't science.
