Researchers say it would be cheap and doable to dim the sun to curb global warming

It would be doable, but would it be wise?

Researchers say they’ve looked into how hard it would be to spray chemicals into the atmosphere to block the sun and curb global warming — and it would be neither technically difficult nor too expensive.

The researchers, in a new study, did not make any judgments about whether it should be done, but they did “show that a hypothetical deployment program starting 15 years from now, while both highly uncertain and ambitious, would be technically possible strictly from an engineering perspective,” said Gernot Wagner, research associate at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and codirector of Harvard’s Solar Geoengineering Research Program.

The researchers envisioned a fleet of just under 100 tankers flying just over 60,000 missions a year by the 15th year of the project.

Not everyone thinks such “solar geoengineering” is a good idea.

That’s the ultimate goal of these cultists: or rather to the point, the elimination of 95% of the world’s population down to 500 million for their perfect Communist dystopian vision of “Earf.”

The problem for ‘the elites’ is the paired down ‘servant class’ will turn on the little sh*ts.... and take what they have. Socialism at it's thuggy worst...or as some would say, "just deserts"...

I think we should start a new calendar for the 21st Century of American Politics.

BT for Before Trump and AT for After Trump.

Clearly, our gov’t is gone wacho, and media isn’t much better to holding them accountable.

The who thing is a joke, and has been for years.

We finally have a president who doesn’t need ten different people telling him what to say and think and do....He knows.

I had the comic book where that happened. My mother threw it away. I wonder what it’s worth today?

The story has been retold many times. The reprints/retellings are not important. Also, Luther was established as a villain far earlier, so this was not our introduction to the villain. It does confirm that Smallville is rather extraordinary. Without looking it up, I think the original would have been in Adventure Comics in the fifties.

I had mine in the early 60s. I remember the story well.

Thanks for the info. I knew that it happened but was too lazy to look it up.
