Geoengineering - White House proposes blocking sunlight to fight global warming: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
American Thinker ^ | 11/19/2022 | Eric Utter

Posted on 11/19/2022 9:10:26 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The White House recently announced that it was funding a five-year research plan for a controversial proposal to fight climate change by geoengineering — i.e., technologies and processes that can be used to artificially modify the Earth's climate.

This research would be dedicated specifically to a form of geoengineering known as "solar radiation management," which involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.  The hope is that, once the sunlight is reflected, less heat will be generated, and ergo temperatures will go down.  Presto: actual anthropogenic climate change!  A global SPF 100, as it were!

The research reportedly will attempt to model how solar radiation management might impact the atmosphere, as well as assess its viability as a potential technique to be employed to "manage near-term climate risk." 

They're hoping to fight the scourge of climate change by blindly trying to change the climate?  What is it with Democrats?  They're also fighting racism with racial quotas and making race the primary consideration in, well, everything.  That's working well, isn't it?  Next, they'll propose fighting drug abuse by giving out free needles and crack pipes.  Oh wait, they're already doing that.  Why haven't they yet suggested we combat STDs by having indiscriminate sex with as many other people as possible?

Now they're going to "cancel" the sun, without which life on Earth would be impossible?  What could go wrong?!

And would this be a unilateral decision? "Hope the rest of you guys don't mind, but we're blocking the sun! Oops, we didn't expect that! Our bad. Sorry, might be a bit chillier than we'd like for a while!"

And yet a U.S. regulatory agency now tells us that large swaths of North America may face blackouts and other energy emergencies during bouts of extreme cold this winter, due to coal and natural gas shortages.

So we are converting to solar energy driven economy and working on blocking sunlight ( solar energy) at the same time.

Only the morons in our government n could be stupid

This would actually be amusing except that every dollar spent on this nonsense is on less dollar that can be spent to fix bridges, build hospitals, etc.

Bill Gates is already doing it, spraying aluminum and barium compounds out of high flying jets.

I was wondering how he was getting away with doing it without getting in trouble with various authorities....

Now, it looks like taxpayers will be funding it and the authorities participating, rather than just merely ignoring it.

Great.

Didn’t Mr. Burns block the sun once on the Simpsons?

Great way to make solar panels not work very well, as if they were going to save us anyway.

RE: We are being governed by lunatics.

So, what does that make those tens of millions of people who voted for them?

DEAR LORD,

IN ALL SINCERITY, THIS NEEDS TO STOP!

Combine this with the poultry culls, large farmland purchases, and gates-funded lab produced chicken, bugs, etc...

Becoming very clear the powers that be do not want us able to produce our own food...

And how will THAT power your "green" solar panels?

”Green” on the outside
but RED on the inside!

I am old enough to remember when these very same idiots said we needed to cover the icecaps with soot to absorb sunlight and save us from the “coming ice age.”

From the bar scene in Highlander II when Mcleod is harangued ny a chubby female bar fly “Hey! Are you MacLeod?
Hey, I asked you a question.
Are you MacLeod?
Yes, I am.
Great. I always wanted to meet the
guy that turned the world to shit.”
The context being Mcleod was instrumental in the development of a mechanism to shield the Earth from the Sun due to ozone layer being defunct

They can’t tell the difference between fantasy/scifi and reality. Which pretty much makes them schizophrenics.

How ridiculous. C’mon, White House! Think big! What we really have to do is go to the source of the problem itself —the sun —and install some kind of device to regulate the solar light and energy. Turn it up when we need more and turn it down when we need less. To make sure our work teams are protected from intense heat of the sun, all landings and work would be done at night.

Yes.

Right before they shot him.
