Although the article was well-explained, there’s some info at Wikipedia on “solar shading”:

Jupiter effect, Y2K, Mayan prophecy. A guy could start to worry.

America is a lovely nation.
San Francisco is a lovely American city.
SF's population density is 10,770 persons per sq mi in one of its densest areas, the very lovely (and hyper-liberal) Berkeley (112,000 people in 10.4 sq mi).
Berkeley is the 110th most densely populated incorporated area in America.

(This is not India or Bangladesh. Many parts of NYC are over 60,000... the Friendship Village area of DC is over 80,000.)
(Paris is at 55,000. Manila is over 111,000.)

If the entire planet were forced to live within a single location with a density of 10,770 persons per sq mi (like Berkeley) the entire population of Planet Earth could live within...

the borders of Mexico.
(750,561 sq mi x 10,770 = 8.08 billion, actually)

Berkeley, CA:

So the entire population of the world will be tragically forced to live like this... in Mexico... while the rest of the planet is used for food and resource production, or laying fallow.

Now look at the map below... Go on... take a moment... we'll wait... see how much room Mexico takes up? And how much of the rest of the planet there is? Just sayin'...

100 years from now, when reduced solar activity is putting us into the next ice age, we’ll be talking about how we need to use fossil fuels, not only to keep warm, but to put MORE CO2 into the atmosphere so that we can save mankind by our efforts to warm the planet.
