And of course, the best way to study this will be to charter a ship to Antarctica to see how stuck in the ice they can get the ship, before being airlifted off the deck with all their valuable research.

A few dozen nukes upwind might do it.

We could help with that- we need some target practice

Maybe these anti-science morons in these “developing” (i.e., loser) countries should concentrate on becoming “developed”. No...let’s waste time and money on something that bis proven to not exist. Idiots.

Happy AU Day! The Sun is exactly one astronomical unit away from Earth today, and getting further and further away each day (until July)…

That’ll cool us off just in time for summer — congrats to the global alarmists for scaring Ol’ Sol away ;-)

Unless they develop a way to block or divert the sun’s rays at a great distance from earth (like a million miles away) there is little to be gained.

Blocking the sun’s rays close to earth will still allow the energy of the sun to strike, be absorbed into, and create heat within the geosphere (ie: everything within the geo-magnetosphere).

In that case the heat not created by the sun’s rays no longer striking the earth’s land or water or atmosphere will be created in some other layer of the biosphere where the rays are being blocked.

And no one knows what unforseen consequences and damage that would create.

I guess the Philippines or Indonesia will do their part by getting one of their volcanoes to erupt (maybe with a nuke from us), and fill the skies with ash.

I’m sure that would not result in any unintended consequences. That is because it comes from the “settled science crowd” and they have been proven right soooo many times already.

Waste of time. They need to concentrate on developing a thermostat for the sun. Turn it up in winter, down in summer.

Will also need to correct the problematic earth axis tilt for better consistency between hemispheres.

There! All problems solved!

History of the Human Race in two chapters:

Chapter One: Let's do it! Why Not?

Chapter Two: How Was I to Know?

Yes because blocking sunlight and shutting down plant photosynthesis where CO2 is converted into O2, while providing all animal life on Earth food is such a smart choice.
