We don’t have enough time left (7 and a half years) to build it anyway. LOL

Idiots.

It would throw us into an ice age. Anyone who has been outside for a solar eclipse knows how much you can feel the temperature drop as the sun gets covered.

Besides, historically, human progress follows climate optimums, periods of warmer weather. The colder weather is associated with things like the Dark Ages, and other times of disease and privation.

We cannot control the weather and have no idea what is actually causing any alleged changes in climate, so experimenting with things like this will most certainly be disastrous.

Just think. The people coming up with these ideas are “educated” and have degrees. Tells you everything about the quality of a college education nowadays.

Yup. Those people know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.

He readily admits that this concept would require millions of dollars investment in just preliminary engineering studies to see if it is really possible.

And that's what it's all about. This stupidity will never become reality, because a civilization advanced enough to build such a thing would be advanced enough to know it's a really bad idea, but there might be some money to be scammed along the way.

Well, if you like snow and ice, sure. Otherwise, personally I prefer warmer days.

You are correct, and it’s not an accident.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in academia but the students working on projects and papers sit around with their professors and department heads and propose their thesis ideals and they will shoot you down until you land on something they like. It’s usually not a hard no. They just ask you questions about your proposal until you cave.

I doubt this silly concept popped in his head out of a vacuum. Pun intended.

No better time than now to review the effect of blocking the sun. With all of the fires raging all over the globe. The Canadian fire alone is doing a pretty good job !

These people really really want a transcontinental glaciation!

Because that’s what you would get if you could actually interfere with the sun radiating on the earth.

The amount of sq footage roofs and roads cover is miniscule compared to the ttl land area.

Wait a minute. What does the Sun have to do with “climate change”? I thought we caused it and it was all about what we did to the Earth. We didn’t do anything to the Sun.

What have they done to the Earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

-Jim Morrison

Why don’t the Feddies put the illegals to work making sombreros and give everyone on the plant one.
