And the bots here are cheering it on. If you want to lose faith in humanity see the discussion about how “this is necessary” in environmental circles. There’s no good people left, only demons. Just bring on the extinction event already.
We’ve tried doing nothing, that didn’t work. These guys have an idea that could work. Should we just ignore it?
What happens to plant life (and other life) when you block the sun?
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein.
We will go to war with the sun before reducing consumption and emissions.
Company names please
This is the stupist idea ever, especially combined with continued CO2 emissions. As the concentration of CO2 rises, you become ever more dependent on sulfur emissions which you continually have to add to the atmosphere to retain a sufficient cooling effect. In the mean time, sulfer descends as acid rain and further wrecks our ecosystem.
The idea is even more criminal than the massive sale of fossil fuels.
Can someone spare a gift version of the article?
