Giant mirrors positioned to reflect sunlight back into space may be needed to meet climate targets, according to a report from the United Nations.
Solar radiation modification (SRM), also known as solar geoengineering, is among the proposals from the UN Environment Programme to use radical technology to avoid a climate emergency.
“SRM is the only known approach that could be used to cool the Earth within a few years,” the report, compiled by an expert panel of climate scientists, stated.
“Climate model simulations consistently show that SRM could offset some of the effects of increasing greenhouse gases on global and regional climate, including carbon and water cycles, but there could be substantial residual or overcompensating climate change at the regional scales.”
The report found that more research is needed to be undertaken in order to better understand the environmental and social impacts of geoengineering technologies.
It is not the first time that space mirrors have been proposed as a way of alleviating the worst effects of climate change, with former US presidential hopeful Andrew Yang notably publishing a plan to geoengineer the planet in 2019.
Inger Andersen, the executive director of the UN Environment Programme, noted that SRM should not be considered a substitute for current targets to reduce emissions.
“Our best bet for a prosperous and equitable future remains putting in the unavoidable hard work to achieve climate stability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, to create a pollution-free planet and societies that live in harmony with nature.”

lex luthor tried something similar ... it cost him his hair and turned him from a good guy to a bad guy ...
>>Pilots already have problems with solar panels when landing at LAX.
Clearly, we need a space-based solution. I propose a shield made of $100 bills duct-taped together to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the earth.
As opposed to the ocean and ice caps that already do this and cover 3/4 or more of the planet.
Solar panels are already soaking up too much sunlight.
OMG... they are now quoting the simpsons’ mr burns...
block the sun.
at least they are admitting the real problem is the sun.
Now we’re talking! Let’s think big.
If something goes wrong and the mirrors send the sunlight to Earth they will burn that area to a crisp. Suppose they go out of orbit?
Cooling off the Earth means worse winters. Less sunlight means less of the Ozone Layer, so more UV gets through and kills us all with cancer.
Crops will not do as well - or maybe this is an INTENDED consequence, so we will eat more bugs.
Obviously there will be no on/off switch thanks to the arrogance of these people.
If you want to hear what I REALLY think, in my most choice, delectable words, send a message.
That’s gotta be some good drugs that they’re abusing.....lunatics.
Imagine all the people
Wearing tin foil hats
Reflecting all the sunshine
It’s easy if you try
Okay Kev is going to admit it. I’m totally confused at this point because this shyt is totally defining all known logic. If all climate change is caused by Man and Capitalism then what the heck will a bunch of mirrors in space do to cool the planet.
Can a Moonbat explain this logic tome?
Well, if we do that, then we will be free to produce all the CO2 we want
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.”
Eco-climate idiots, morons and cretins on parade.
How about giant earth mounted parabolic mirrored dishes, upon which we can roast these evil minions? Their carbon footprint would be brief and fleeting..And...AND the mirrored dishes will still reflect sunlight back toward the sun!
I was just thinkin’ that.
Oh, and “now” works pretty well considering this in context to a “now” UN brain fart.
These people have lost their minds.
Gross stupidity on a Biden Harris scale.

I think they are talking about mirrors in orbit.🤔
