Canadian environmental scientist David Keith wants to change the world’s climate by creating a type of sun filter in the sky to halt global warming. In an interview, he argues the technology is effective and inexpensive, but critics liken it to a nuclear bomb. …
When he first devoted himself to the idea more than 20 years ago, it was considered dangerous nonsense. It enraged climate activists, and even Keith received death threats on his answering machine.

when will people see the media and scientists have been lying all this time?
That the Sun is producing a useful amount of energy now does not imply that its energy output will always remain within tolerable limits.
