Oh Good Grief! Imaginary science for an imaginary problem. The great scam continues.

Sounds like that would produce the "greenhouse effect" which would make us all freeze to death as they claimed was inevitable back in the early 1970s when I was a pup.

Then, as now, the only cure was to let the self-appointed smart people micromanage our lives and economies.

They would have to close it when it rains..unless it’s raining to much.
Or, if we want to flood China or Iran we could tip the umbrella?

Actually, there is some interesting theory here. Anyone who has been in the track of a full eclipse notices how the temperature drops quickly in their area. In some situation, *on land*, it is as much as 15F.

While these advocates are entirely thinking of the land, the real change might be over water. Specifically over “El Nino” water, which is hotter than most surface temperatures.

A slowly moving high altitude umbrella might cause the hot ocean water, already giving up heat, to give it up *faster*. And this might eventually reduce the duration of the El Nino.

They plan to tinker with a system that is so complex they don’t fully understand it?

Great! What could go wrong?!

“...Scientists have long known that manmade events like pollution in the atmosphere, smoke from forest fires and volcanic eruptions can create a cooling effect...”

Great!!! So now, all we have to do is pollute to cool the earth...

But aren’t all you global warming and green earth yokels screaming about wanting LESS pollution???

YOU are the cause of warming then...LOL

So stupid, you have to laugh at them....

These people are witch doctors. Just throw some magic dust into the fire and call it a day.

I remember when Carl Sagan and the rest of the intelligentsia were wetting their pants about nuclear winter obscuring the sun.

They are going to need a bigger set of shades than they think.

A giant airdrop of $100 bills over every university in the land would accomplish exactly the same thing.

They already have Giant Sunshades in the sky. They are called clouds and they are quite effective. Anyone in the Northeast should already be aware of their effectiveness at reducing temperatures.

Tie a rope to Joy Behar’s leg, and fill her big, empty head with helium.

Solves two problems.

How about a compromise.
These Scientist never mention this again.
And Trump Builds the wall.

Seems like 50 billion pairs of sunglasses
would be just as effective...and cheaper.

This is a great idea. Think of all the advertising opportunities available on the underside of the screen.
