I’m just going to put this comment from a user elsewhere right here.
“I am a person who is 100 percent all for decarbonizing our energy system, but there is no good reason at all why we should not be pursuing other options to mitigate the catastrophes that are already in motion because of the things we are trying to fix.
It’s like saying that a person with heart disease should focus on diet and lifestyle alone, and taking medication that would alleviate some of the more serious symptoms is just enabling them to continue living unhealthily.
Solar shades are relatively cheap, relatively easy, within current technology, and easily repurposed or tweaked to change what it does if we find the effects aren’t as expected.”
Simpsons did it
Does no one remember the second Highlander movie?!?! We were warned!
Looking at that picture, it appears that if we just atomized the moon, we could “solve” this overheating problem. Of course, anything that prolongs or extends our human footprint on Earth will be counterproductive in the long run anyway. We need one of those Greek Gods of the Heavens to just pull the curtain on us, I think.
In other news: Scientists are just as normal as the rest of us, meaning some of them are complete idiots
Ok. best case scenario climate change is still going to be pretty awful. Let’s make this serious. There’s no way we dont need something like this. Humanity needs to reduce emissions and shield itself from the sun. Let‘s find the best, least harmful way to do so.
MIT had a study about something similar and it could lower the global temperature like 1.5 degrees Celsius
As much as I don’t want this because doing it is just doing to mean big business can continue fucking our home up, I don’t know how we can NOT do it at this point.
