A Bloomberg Opinion editor actually suggested humanity just blot out the sun to fight global warming.
Bloomberg Opinion Editor Michael Newman wrote a senseless blog headlined, “What if We Blotted Out the Sun to Fight Global Warming?” He probably subconsciously realized the suggestion was insane, as he hedged in his subheadline: “It’s risky, but then again the path we’re on now may be even riskier.” Newman called “solar geoengineering” one of the “great hopes” to “stop or slow climate change.” He explained the idea as “an attempt to figure out a way to cool the planet by deflecting some of the sun’s rays before they reach us humans.” Newman based his argument on an equally absurd article by Bloomberg Opinion columnist Clara Ferreira Marques headlined: “Solar Geoengineering Research Is a Risk Worth Taking.”

They think they are God. That’s a problem.
I say we all have a day where we just close one eye, that should help…
We need to bring back the glory days of the Ice Age when liberal enclaves like New York City, London, Toronto, Ottawa, and etc. were all buried under two or three miles of ice.
Pretty sure Mr Burns tried this in a Simpsons episode
Sure, after all, "What could possibly go wrong?"

Could be done to some degree with enough solar sails placed in orbit. Still stupid. But not impossible.
We’re gonna need a bigger candle snuffer!
I like it. If, in 2075 global warming is a problem then we can implement it. Till then we don’t have to do anything!

A solar sail of that size would be “blown away” by the sun’s light / photons.
How about if we execute idiots like this?

And fifty years ago there was a great plan to stop THE COMING ICE AGE by mining coal, grinding it to dust, mix it with oil and spread it on the ice caps to increase warming and prevent an Ice Age.
Now they want to block the sun? On 9-11, it was found that with all the aircraft grounded over the US and Canada, the ground temp actually WENT UP! So to prevent glo-Bull Warming, we need to increase contrails from aircraft!
“The effect during the three days that flights were grounded was strongest in populated regions where air traffic was normally densest. The increase in range came to about two degrees Celsius.
Other studies have tended to back up the research. In 2011, British scientists wrote that an air raid in May 1944 involving over 1,400 aircraft measurably lowered daytime temperatures in England. In that case, the situation was the reverse of 9/11 – large-scale air travel was unknown, and dense concentrations of large planes were rare.”
I don’t have the link but I read an article a few years back about how such things could be kept in orbit.
NOTHING IS HAPPENING.
SEA LEVELS HAVE NOT RISEN HALF AN INCH.
NOT A QUARTER INCH
NOT AN EIGHTH OF AN INCH
THIS IS LIBERAL ‘ELITE’ HYSTERIA.
BUT THESE DRAMA QUEENS COULD KILL ALL OF US...
“That pesky Sun! On hot summer days it’s just unbearable! Always causing sunburns, and I can’t even look it in the eye. Why does it have to be so bright? We’re better off without it.”
Yes, morons.
Well, first we need to find out what the ideal average temperature of the earth should be to know if we are warming or cooling.
I wonder if any climate change activists can tell us that.
