People pushing ideas like this should be thrown into volcanoes.
The people pushing this do not realize they are admitting that warming is caused by the sun.
I have heard some stupid ideas before, but this one is off the charts!
No
What do we have to lose?
There is no climate crisis. Practically everyone has been brainwashed by this. At work I praise an unusually warm winter day and I’m met with furrowed brows...and a comment on “climate change”. Tiresome!
No Sun WE DIE you fools
“Could a Giant Parasol in Outer Space Help Solve the Climate Crisis?”
Why not a pretty floral bonnet?
I bet you all thought the popularity of taking LSD died with Jerry Garcia didn’t you?
If New York City gets two degrees warmer, how will its Mexican, Central American and Puerto Rican people cope?
Here in Florida, temperatures can easily drop 10 degrees in a few hours later in the day.
The CO2 in the atmosphere isn’t preventing that.
Water vapor is the greenhouse gas that matters.
No, because there is no climate crisis to solve
Question for the cult of climate change. Why is the climate changing on all the planets in the social system?
The Earth is drowning ... in stupidity.
There’s no climate crisis. The people who propose this giant space umbrella are nearly totally insane. Their only remaining plausible bit of sanity is their wanting the US taxpayer to pay for it, because they certainly won’t fund it themselves.
sounds like another instance on some brilliant mind farting an idea without thinking it through
What climate crisis?
What “climate crisis?”
Do you mean the “climate crisis” ideological tool being used by the WEF to transform the western world???
Gee, how about consulting with some plant biologists before proposing dangerous schemes like this?
Plants need light and carbon dioxide. Decrease either one, and plants will suffer. Ironically, decreasing the light will cause carbon dioxide levels to increase, because plants will be less active and pull less CO2 out of the air to grow.
With all of this fear-mongering over a trace gas in the atmosphere, I wonder if any of these bozos have ever studied biology? Photosynthesis? The carbon cycle?
Are they aware that life evolved under conditions with more CO2 and O2 than now? Are they aware that the concentration of CO2 has decreased from a percent concentration to parts per million concentration over the geologic history of the earth? Natural processes remove CO2 and make it permanently unavailable to biological organisms. Those famed White Cliffs of Dover are composed of calcium carbonate, formed from CO2 that used to be in the air. Animals were larger back in the dinosaur and pre-dinosaur eras—could it be because of abundant CO2 and O2 which supported their growth?
I wish someone with some sense would speak out.
Unfortunately, even though the mechanism proposed for CO2 to heat the air cannot work, there is a strong political pressure to promote this idea and the draconian “solutions” that go with it. Socialists have always wanted to force people to live more primitive lifestyles. We wouldn’t do it when they just tried to force socialism on us for the sake of socialism. But when they say it’s for the environment, all of a sudden, people are fine with having their rights and quality of life taken away.
Ironically, I have yet to see a scheme that will actually change the average temperature of the earth without causing great harm. Blocking the sunlight will inhibit plant growth, in turn inhibiting the use of CO2 by living organisms. Removing CO2 from the air will cause plants to grow less and those that need higher CO2 concentrations will die off. And when the plants die because of lack of CO2, there is less food for everything else that depends on plants, so animal populations will also decrease. And the overall effect on temperature will be to drive it up, since without plants, more ground is bare and converts sun energy to heat.
