“We don’t know who struck first - us, or them - but, we do know it was us who blocked out the sun…”
Literally the first thing I thought of, complete with his voice
This just sounds like a bad idea. Especially if its the “release trillions of particles” approach.
Anyone you seriously and unironical think about blocking out the sun needs to be removed from office and the public immediately.
Blocking out the sun with aerosols is a good idea if you know with high confidence how it will impact the climate system and environment. That’s why they’re trying to simulate it with the supercomputer, so they know if it fucks stuff up or not.
I don’t even believe this is a serious article, it sounds like a Simpson’s episode plot. Let’s ask sunglasses manufacturers to protest so that we prevent this plan (I’m Matt Groening)
You got a better idea? Earth is cooking, convincing everybody to stop burning fossil fuel is not working, and we’re out of time.
Killing not only us but the entire fauna and flora ISNT an option.
You realize the idea is to reduce how much sunlight reaches the surface, not completely block it, right?
Who proposed doing that?

“Listen, this sun… whatever the hell it thinks it is, is coming to ruin your life. Now I propose you not only subsidize building the sun blocker, but also pay us monthly fees afterwards to prevent this sinful ball of devilish fire from ruining your life…”
Some board room somewhere, probably…
Pff no need for it, I say we do it.
