The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming.
Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Joe Biden's administration have admitted they're open to the idea, which has never been attempted before.
In a report released Friday by the White House, officials suggested limiting sunlight to rapidly cool the planet, a process known as solar radiation modification (SRM).
The administration added a note of skepticism to the report by noting that Congress ordered it, insisting it has not made any decision on 'geoengineering' policy.
The report noted several ways authorities could look to achieve SRM, all of which come with potentially devastating consequences if they backfire.
One method would be to significantly increase the amount of aerosols in the stratosphere, which would reflect the sun's rays from the planet.
Other ideas floated included increasing cloud coverage over oceans, or reducing the amount of cirrus cloud formations, which reflect solar radiation back to the Earth.
The report noted that undertaking the mammoth task could have severe ramifications weather patterns and food supplies, which would in turn impact biodiversity, geopolitics, and health.
It also suggested that committing to the idea then backtracking and changing course could lead to abrupt warming as the suns rays suddenly heat the Earth once more.
While insisting that it was not definitively moving ahead with the plan, the Biden administration insisted in its report that the idea appeared promising.
It said a 'program of research' into the practice would 'enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits' of blocking the sun.
The White House added that exploring the idea would also...

I was just thinking of that episode!
“The Twilight Zone” The Midnight Sun (TV Episode 1961)
What we need to do is come up with someway to cover maybe half the earth with a shadow. Then move that shadow around the earth on a daily basis so that no spot on earth is always being heated by the sun or always in the shadow.
Experienced due to the Canadian smoke: fruits do NOT ripen. Who knows what other natural growth does not occur. Are animals confused?
Biden is such a bird brain
So, are the liberal fascist environazis now admitting that that LARGE, yellow object in the sky actually does something? Previously, anyone accepting government $$$ for climate ‘research’ had to agree that -the planet is warming due to Republicans -the Sun has nothing to do with it, it’s the Republicans -SUVs driven by Republicans are evil.
Just don't launch it from Guam because it might capsize.
King pedoPIG, The First has spoken!!!!
What has been said, let it be so!!!!
BTW, FJB
Biden couldn’t handle the risk of pulling out of Afghanistan. And that was with the best military minds in the country. Geoengineering? My dog would do a better risk analysis.
Just curious. If you block out the sun how do you expect to use solar power?
Do we really know what is in those “balloon things? Nope it could be something really bad.
What morons.
They are messing with stuff they don’t understand and since everything the government gets its paws on it ruins, if they do this, this will backfire BIG TIME.
These demons must be stopped, hard!
Mentioning “chemtrails” will trigger laughter from a LOT of people. But after doing a good deal of research, I have to believe that they are a thing. Perhaps meant as some sort of geoengineering, cooling the earth for example.
“The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming“
What could go wrong?
It’s very pro-white though. We survived the last ice age.
Such a great movie; sadly, not available on youtube. I had to watch it on ok.ru.
The series was not as good-too preachy.
It’s already known that America will die from stupidity.
Will it try to take the rest of the world with it?
“ And that was with the best military minds in the country”
And what does that tell you?
It's simple if you think about it.
If we need to ban aerosols to stop global warming, and we need to spray aerosols into the atmosphere to stop global warming ... you might be a Democrat.
