There is no crisis.

I’m old enough to remember when these idiots wanted to turn the snow black with soot to slow down global cooling.

Oops.....I read that too fast.

Thought it said they were launching a “giant parasite”
into outer space to help the crisis of food shortages.

That could mean only one person....Stacey Abrams.

When they went from chlorofluorocarbons to CO2 it proved the hoax.

CO2 is part of the cycle of life.   We breath in Oxygen and exhale CO2, plants take in CO2 and produce Oxygen.

If they limit CO2, they limit life on Earth.

Strange movie but quite entertaining. Especially Mathilde.

Sure, now that China and Japan have entered the space race and the Koreans are firing off rockets.

But tell them that the space parasol can’t just be made out of paper and toothpicks.

“There is no climate crisis. There is only a crisis of intelligence.”

And, a crisis of corruption.

i think instead, we should take everyone who thinks these kinds of plans are a good idea, put them on a rocket and fire them into space between the earth and the sun in order “to block a small but crucial amount of solar radiation”

Yes, if we attached the WEF and their globalist minions to it, and jettisoned
them toward the Sun.

Started LOLing right there.

Great synopsis at Post #46, Dr. ExDemMom - you should attend the next Davos meet of the Legion Of Doom and lay it on them.

This article requires hipwaders AND a shovel:

"Earth at its hottest point in recorded history...humans doing far from enough to stop its overheating...create a huge sunshade...to block a small but crucial amount of solar radiation, enough to counter global warming...and keep Earth within manageable climate boundaries. As the climate crisis worsens...a sunshade would not eliminate the need to stop burning coal, oil and gas, the main drivers of climate change. Even if greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels were to immediately drop to zero, there’s already excessive heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."

And you, countering their "settled science", replied:

Plants need light and carbon dioxide. Decrease either one, and plants will suffer. Ironically, decreasing the light will cause carbon dioxide levels to increase, because plants will be less active and pull less CO2 out of the air to grow.

Brawndo

Seriously though, the sheer arrogance of these people presuming 1.Humanity's actions are a blight that's destroying the ecosystem, 2.Their elite combined intelligence can save us from those actions at the low, low cost of our Freedoms, and 3.They assume the role of God before the Great Unwashed while denying His existance.

But given enough time, money and power these asshats could lead Earth to the destruction they purport to save us from.

no, it will not help.. As the UN has stated today, the only item that will fix climate change is cash. Cold hard ca$h..

So, the powers that be want to throttle life giving sunlight to the planet. Looks like they'll take any angle they can to get to their pre-determined magic number of Humans allowed on the planet.

Anyone who's read Asimov might recognize this mindset as that of Solarians. They also genetically engineered themselves to be hermaphrodites.

Civilians should begin developing a small fleet of parasite drones that can attach themselves to any such abomination and route it directly into the Sun.
