A solar shield could save us from climate change. But its sudden collapse would doom the planet

If this notion wasn't so absurd it would be funny.

My theory is that if all we earthlings wore aluminum foil hats during the daytime, it would reflect the deadly, earth destroying global warming and save the Erf!

Apparently no one saw Highlander 2: The Quickening - and I can’t blame them. But if they did, they’d recognize this plot.

They aren’t getting enough money out of the carbon hoax, so they need a new boondoggle.

At least they have figured out the source of all heat on earth.

If we let the lib start this we'd better be ready for the next ice age:

Actually, the SHIELD is the right way to deal with this crap. You FIGHT BACK, rather than cower into some hybrid corner. If the sun is going to fry us, then TURN IT DOWN, in other words, put up a shield!

The movie Snowpiercer is now prophecy.

These schemes scare me far more than any imaginary fraction of a degree heating. Sunlight is necessary for life. So is carbon dioxide. These schemes to decrease either are exceedingly dangerous; they pose existential threats to all life.

[MortMan]

Wasn’t this the plot for Highlander 2?

“My theory is that if all we earthlings wore aluminum foil hats during the daytime, it would reflect the deadly, earth destroying global warming and save the Erf!”

Yeah, and if we got rid of daylight savings time so we would have one less hour of sunlight warming the Erf..

[butlerweave]

How about we just make tinfoil hats for the Global Warming Nuts and leave it at that

[EQAndyBuzz]

Burning carbon will create a ring around the planet, protecting us from the sun. Therefore burning carbon as Tom Selleck suggested back in the 80’s would cool the planet. If we just cycle burning fossil fuels every 10 years or so, we should be ok.

[Mr. Jeeves]

These clowns want to start an ice age so they can ration heat to loyal supporters.

[itsahoot]

For example, the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines cooled the planet by 0.5°C, after spewing some 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere.

Maybe they could just convince some of those islanders to stop throwing virgins in the volcanos to calm them down.

Didn’t Russ Cargill from the EPA come up with this dome idea in the Simpsons movie ?

I don’t know if anyone is paying attention to what’s happening up in the sky, but this program has been going on for years. I watched the weather turn “overcast” yesterday, and it was almost all man-made clouds.

Check out Matt Landman’s “Frankenskies.”

[dfwgator]

I thought it was Mr. Burns.

[PROCON]

That wasn't 'Overcast'!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

And some of the coldest temperatures on record.

I’ve spent a good deal of time offshore in a sailboat and the activity over the ocean just out of land view is FAR more than anything you’ll see on land.

You can see giant checkerboard patterns done by planes in formation spanning the entire sky.

IMO, these are classified military tests to alter the weather. We have the computer technology now to determine what parts of the atmosphere to cool/heat in order to alter weather patterns. The scientists can program the planes’ GPS and BAM... instant weather correction.

I would guess they are spraying dusts made of reflective metals that already commonly occur in the ocean.
