The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming.
Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Joe Biden's administration have admitted they're open to the idea, which has never been attempted before.
In a report released Friday by the White House, officials suggested limiting sunlight to rapidly cool the planet, a process known as solar radiation modification (SRM).
The administration added a note of skepticism to the report by noting that Congress ordered it, insisting it has not made any decision on 'geoengineering' policy.
The report noted several ways authorities could look to achieve SRM, all of which come with potentially devastating consequences if they backfire.
One method would be to significantly increase the amount of aerosols in the stratosphere, which would reflect the sun's rays from the planet.
Other ideas floated included increasing cloud coverage over oceans, or reducing the amount of cirrus cloud formations, which reflect solar radiation back to the Earth.
The report noted that undertaking the mammoth task could have severe ramifications weather patterns and food supplies, which would in turn impact biodiversity, geopolitics, and health.
It also suggested that committing to the idea then backtracking and changing course could lead to abrupt warming as the suns rays suddenly heat the Earth once more.
While insisting that it was not definitively moving ahead with the plan, the Biden administration insisted in its report that the idea appeared promising.
It said a 'program of research' into the practice would 'enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits' of blocking the sun.
The White House added that exploring the idea would also...

This has to be satire......Babylon Bee or whatever!!!!
The Left whose engine is the spirit of antichrist, lives in and love darkness, hates the light, and wants to destroy as much light as possible.
It’s what they do.
The Left along with their spirit of antichrist have already lost the war - they just don’t know it yet.
Before clicking the link, I put the over/under of posts before a Mr. Burns picture at 12. Take the under, it was 7.
The Muslims in France will set that cave on fire.
The result was creating a new ice age and a snowball Earth.
“What does this global diversion have to with accepting chicom bribes?”
The idiots bet all the bribe money on there really being only 7.6 years of human existence left, and doing everything possible to “win”...
Sounds like he is planning a nuclear winter.
Nothing. But, as long as the SW Desert is put under shade during the summer....
Just wait for nuclear winter.
Every darkening of the sun in human history has led to a frozen world and famine everywhere (e.g. AD 536) Words like "crap-shoot" and "Russian roulette" can not even begin to convey the idiocy of this suggestion.
Only a madman and lunatic would suggest such a thing.
Don’t solar farms already do that? I am sooooo against these solar farms.
Just another shady scheme from the dark forces.
They already are geo-engineering and it is causing havoc.
Why haven’t we thrown out this unelected fraud yet?
These people are insane.
They already are.
One more moronic idea from his advisors who have a collective IQ of a brain dead idiot!
