  1. Vile idea.
    Sun light is necessary for life itself.

    The impact would be dreadful if they did this

  2. How is this going to affect all the solar farms across the country?

  3. Who had “Snowpiercer” in the “how does humanity off itself?” sweepstake?

  7. We need more sun not less! We already have a nation with vitamin d defiency.

  8. My skin is almost transparent as it is. Please, I need vitamin D.

  9. Less than what we are already getting???
    I remind you we had no proper summer for the past 3 years (and as proper I mean 3 weeks straight, let alone 2 months)

  10. I assume, if done, this will be done around the equator where it has the most effect, not over the UK

  11. Our clouds? OUR CLOUDS? they’re not a fucking lampshade, they float off to other countries.

  12. and how one wonders does this combine with the policy to increase the dependency of the country on solar power?

  13. How about, fucking leave shit alone, maybe try that 1st

  14. Yeah that’s exactly what the UK needs, more grey cloudy days.

  16. I can put up with a lot in this dystopian hell hole but don’t take my 4 days of summer each year

  17. Why not cut out the middle man and just use a ££££ shredding machine and throw that up in the air like confetti?

  18. Why use the Mail as a source? It’s just sensationalism for the thickos. Go to the source itself.

  19. Yes the billionaires want the sun gone so they can sell you an artificial one.

  20. Another example of this crappy government treating us like toddlers

  21. Rather than fix the problems globally

    We send shade to Europe

  22. This has unintended consequences written all over it.

  23. I would like to go on record and say this is a bad idea.

  27. What. Even less sunlight than what we’re getting now? We already have days and weeks of grey, uniform, sad, gloomy cloudy sky. Ugh.

  28. It’s ok it’s the daily heil, the science journalism is written in crayon by a village idiot.

  29. What sun? We don’t get enough in the UK as it is.
    What about all this salt they will be using? It’s got to go somewhere right? More salty water everywhere? More rust?

  30. Don’t fuck with my sky. It’s not something a government should be doing nor have the right to do.

  33. Since when did Britain need scientific intervention to avoid being warmed by the sun? Isn’t that just an ordinary summer?

  34. Is there a more reputable source for this without the ridiculous scaremongering headlines?

  36. And there I am having just spunked £12k on a decent Solar Power System ‘trying to do my bit’.

    Fuck you Milliband, you massive turbocunt and fuck you to everyone involved.

  37. Very controversial. The country that everyone bangs on about on the internet that is too cloudy and doesn’t get a lot of sun… Is the country to be trialled to have, less sun…

    I don’t really have faith in scientists anymore, it’s just a name, anyone can become a “scientist” just like any other bs naming convention for jobs out there. There’s no credibility anymore in this day and age.

  39. We could force the 70 companies of the world who produce 90% of the excess carbon dioxide which is heating up the planet to comply with reducing their pollutants and fine them billions if not or….

    Waste all this money on a shit plan!

  40. ‘We don’t know who struck first, us or them, but we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.’

    Morpheus.

    This is a fucking terrible idea.

  41. “Get solar panels to use the suns energy” to save the earth.

    5 years later…

    “We are blocking the sun over the UK to save the earth”
