When I 1st heard about the plan to block out the sun instead of dealing with our relentless pollution, consumerism and population overshoot I cringed more than on any occasions before.
Simple math would have made you realize that Bill Gates was trolling you. You would need a 1thousand mile wide shield half way between the Earth and the Sun, too block 1% of the Sun.
And this statement is only partially true. Obviously you could block the Sun if the light barrier was closer but it would still have too be really freaking big.
lols i was thinking the same. I said here years ago, argue with your own sock to make it seem real...it was a joke..never knew some people would actually do it lol
It is not an "instead", it is an "as well." We need geoengineering as well as reductions in pollution. Population control is not important at all though.
I ended up following BCH because it proposed a smarter development path. Sadly the anarchists are too loud to male the wider market take BCH seriously.
That said business can do more than governments. Just look at what Elon is doing with Tesla. They are the front line in the fight against climate change.
Humanity can affect the temperature/global climate. We already have been geoengineering, now we just need to do it in a beneficial way instead of a destructive way.
