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.”

This guy is so 2010. His Journolist had one bright lining - it got Weigel ‘fired’. Frankly, the NYT is going to clean house once they force Xiden out, and guaranteed this douchelord is top-of-the-firing-list.
‘Since the beginning of time man has yearned to destroy the sun.” - Mr. Burns
I always file these articles under MM for Mental Masturbation because that’s all this is.
No Virginia, no one (not even a liberal) is going to block out the sun).
Sheeesh.
Let's start producing air pollution again ... that will dim that evil old sun!
Oh, wait ... wasn't all of that "sun dimming" going to cause Global Cooling?
This is a Bill Gates project.
I think Ezra qualifies as a Dim Sun dumbbell…
( The Chinese New Year in a few days *is* the Year of the Dumb Ox ;-)
I read somewhere Bill Gates was working on a project quietly to control the climate. To Make it rain in drought areas. Control the Sun as well. I did not like the idea about control the sun. I feel when people start experimenting with our atmosphere in this way something will go wrong. And in not in a good way.
