The New York Times has taken eco-nuttiness to a new level by publishing a podcast speculating whether the solution to fighting climate change will include — wait for it — dimming the sun.
Times opinion columnist Ezra Klein took his new interview podcast of global warming fearmonger Elizabeth Kolbert and turned it into an op-ed. Klein began his piece with a creepy quote from environmentalist Stewart Brand, “‘We are as gods and might as well get good at it.’” He later spewed that one solution he was obsessed with for fighting climate change was “solar geoengineering … Are we really going to dim the sun?”
Klein’s predominant disagreement with Brand was that he was “overly optimistic. We did not get good at [being gods]. We are terrible at it, and the consequences surround us.” In effect, according to Klein, we should consider that we may end up having no other choice than to be “gods” and “dim the sun.”

Well at least he has finally acknowledged what the REAL problem is and it is NOT man-made.
God complex
Excellent point
I’m of the belief that man would thrive even more so with a warmer globe.
You could grow crops at high latitudes.
Man trying to play God always ends in disaster.
Way back when I was a new Christian in my 20s I’d wonder how we could ever reach the evil described in the Book of Revelation.
Now I wonder when we will be delivered from it.
I’m friggin’ freezing here in upstate. The only good thing is that the sun is shining.
Kinda like a “gotcha”.
We are no where near Revelations level of chaos and evil yet, but I agree with you, it seem to be getting a lot easier to understand how it would be become possible.
That's what they said at Babel. They built a tower to overcome any flood that God might send.
(1) God said He would not send a global flood again. So this shows disbelief in what God says.
(2) Equating ones self to God is what got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven.
(3) Any plan to thwart what God has in mind will end terribly. Always has. Always will.
“Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men

Well, Ezra could off himself, then he would have nothing to worry about.
What will democrats do when the sun starts expanding towards becoming a giant red star?
They’ll have to figure out a way to move the planet farther out, a few hundred million miles further out.
Or, they could erect a giant wall around the sun to keep it from expanding.
In any case, there is not REAL science to support the global-warming/climate-change hoax.
I would like to make a reservation now on snow piercer.
Exactly, we can warm quite a bit before it gets to be a problem rather than a benefit. Plants actually thrive at 1200 ppm CO2.
“Well, I was on a patio, having lunch at a Chinese Restaurant and I ordered Dim Sum dumplings with Shrimp.
The noontime sun splashed in my eyes, and one thing lead to another....”
Gates is thinking about using farm land dirt sent into space to create a shield to filter out the Sun's rays. Or, something like that.
There isn't enough dirt on the Earth to accomplish that.
I never thought human intelligence would sink so low to this level. Just saying!
We were taught in school, back when education was a ‘thing’, that the Earth’s orbit at this time had us in the northern hemisphere closest to the Sun when we were having WINTER and farthest from the Sun during our SUMMER.
AND that due to a thing called ‘precession of the poles, this situation would slowly change over time until the OPPOSITE effect would happen. IOW, The northern hemisphere would be tilted AWAY FROM THE SUN at the same point when we were FARTHEST AWAY FROM THE SUN.
THEN an ICE AGE would be in effect over the entire globe for several thousand years...................
