The White House is coordinating a five-year research plan to study ways of modifying the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth to temper the effects of global warming, a process sometimes called solar geoengineering or sunlight reflection.
The research plan will assess climate interventions, including spraying aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space, and should include goals for research, what's necessary to analyze the atmosphere, and what impact these kinds of climate interventions may have on Earth, according to the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy. Congress directed the research plan be produced in its spending plan for 2022, which President Joe Biden signed in March.
Some of the techniques, such as spraying sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, are known to have harmful effects on the environment and human health. But scientists and climate leaders who are concerned that humanity will overshoot its emissions targets say research is important to figure out how best to balance these risks against a possibly catastrophic rise in the Earth's temperature.
Getting ready to research a topic is a very preliminary step, but it's notable the White House is formally engaging with what has largely been seen as the stuff of dystopian fantasy. In Kim Stanley Robinson's science fiction novel, "The Ministry for the Future," a heat wave in India kills 20 million people and out of desperation, India decides to implement its own strategy of limiting the sunlight that gets to Earth.
Chris Sacca, the founder of climate tech investment fund Lowercarbon Capital, said it's prudent for the White House to be spearheading the research effort.
"Sunlight reflection has the potential to safeguard the livelihoods of billions of people, and it's a sign of the White House's leadership..."

They need to take the CO2 content in the atmosphere down to .0000001 per cent. Likewise the Nitrogen content in the Atmosphere. They would like that.

How much is it in days?
Dont worry
In dog years we have 58.21 years left ...

With disminished sunlight comes a loss
of wind turbulence and evaporation,
resulting in fewer clouds (less
precipitation), cooler temps, dead
vegetation, reptile extinctions, and
fewer storms resulting in dry rivers,
dead mammals from lack of food.
But how are these brain dead psychopaths
going to stop volcanos or ocean born
methane seeps? (the real pollutors).
God had a plan for this planet of his
creation. Our world has a great nack
for healing itself.
Will the government get a ticket for
applying too dark of a window tint?
Of course, this is being presented as a thoughtful, rational approach to “Climate Change”

Whoops
I cant multiply

I saw on Rocky and Bullwinkle once, an episode about an Indian Maharajah who wanted snow in Kolkata.
He bought many,many elephants and moved them to India. This caused the Earth to shift and place India at a Pole. Voila! Snow.
This same principal could be used to solve global warming (I'm surprised Brandon has not thought of this, believing in science as he does).
You can thank me later.....
“ Ok let’s have a new ice age…”
Since we’re already past the halfway point of this inter-glacial period, I could see these idiots triggering one earlier than predicted.
It would be ironic if the effect of a massive reflection program would be a massive cooling of the planet causing crop failures and winter freezes at record levels.
Mecca would be a good target zone.
It might be worth going back to the Stone Age just to rid the world of those crazies.
Instead of the annual hole in the ozone layer, these fools want to destroy the entire ozone layer.
Naw. Your income is falling as the taxes the feds want you to pay for all this science FICTION garbage they dream up. Obama dreams it up and Biden signs anything his boss tells him to sign, then he can play in his sandbox.
I see a whole lot of hunger in our future.
Yes, poor plants.
But seriously, if there were real “climate emergency” this would probably be better solution than limiting fossil fuels.
However, with climate finnicky as it is, this could get us in some ice age!
That would be the real disaster!
Yes, oceans may recede, but it would be very hard to find Indianapolis under a mile of ice, as it were for a very long, not that long ago!
These people are utterly insane, just completely delusional low IQ psychopaths.
Anyone ever read the book “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy or see the movie? That is exactly what the earth would be like should the CO2 level ever descend below 0.02% or if the sun was ever blotted out, plants would die and after the animals die or are killed off people would resort to cannibalism.
Maybe these asshats should ask themselves why the record high temperatures for almost every state in the USA was set decades ago. Pretty strange if the temperature is getting hotter every year isnt it.

We’ll be dead before they cone up with a plan and aliens will be left with the responsibility of not talking to us sooner...
