Great the solar roadways of climate change fixes.
Who decides on the thermostat settings? How fast can we reverse if we dial back too far?
Isn’t that like the whole premise of snowpiercer? Humanity tried to cool the atmosphere but fucked up and went too far in reverse?
Cen we not? We could always try other more sane methods that are available
The best part is you can dual purpose the shades to collect solar power and microwave beam it wherever you want.
Given much of the transition to renewable energy is planned to be solar this may be counterproductive. China is rolling out monumental amounts of solar at the moment, we can’t just block the sun since it’s part of the solution.
That’s a feature, not a bug. Using geo-engineering will take the pressure off of fossil fuel reduction policies. So why use solar power when you can happily continue burning coal and oil?
Unless we block the sun with a big solar panel!

This is the scifi future baby! Everything going up from now on 🚀
They lit an LED with a radio and a rectifier. Nothing futuristic involved at all.
I was mostly joking 😂
Consider me successfully poe’d then. Seen so many people taking it seriously and claiming we need to focus on that instead of land based.
Wasnt this the start of Highlander 2?
You must be confused. The first Highlander movie was followed up with Highlander 3. There was no Highlander 2.
The UN Environmental Program’s recent report into SRM concludes that it is not currently a realistic or wise plan.
“UNEP concurs with the panel that, at present, large-scale, or operational deployment of SRM technologies is not necessary, viable, prudent or sufficiently safe, given the limited scientific understanding and uncertainty about the potential impacts and unintended consequences,” says UNEP’s Chief Scientist Andrea Hinwood.
“The review concludes that SRM cannot replace reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
Nonetheless, the body doesn’t rule out the method altogether, with the report concluding that their assessment of the technique “may change should climate action remain insufficient”.
Will they use diamondium or diamondillium?
WERNSTROM!!!
I just watched this episode lol.
Idk the impact of how reflective this site is but I assume it’s more than anything man made yet US is destroying it:

Instead of creating new solutions why not protect existing ones?
What could ever go wrong
Literally the deranged plot that got Mr Burns shot in the Simpsons
I thought it was because he stole Maggie’s lollypop
Has no one seen The Matrix/Animatrix?!
I saw it on Futurama It’s all fun and games till a tiny asteroid pachinks the side of it and it burns a hole through Kyoto, Anagram lover’s Tokyo.

Has no one seen highlander 2?!
Isn’t this part of the plot of Snowpiercer? At least the movie.
I immediately thought the same thing. We need Wilford to hurry up with his train.
You meam Charlie?
The industrial revolution was a mistake. Convenience and comfort have proven to not be worth the cost of complete ecological destruction. Total deindustrialization is the only solution, and it will not happen. We’re going to kill ourselves off, or nearly, and the world will be a better place for it in the long run.
The agricultural revolution was a mistake. The industrial revolution was just the logical fallout from it.
Man, we’ve been destroying our ecosystems long before industrialization.
And we’ve been doing exponentially more so since. If you think there’s even a remotely close comparison to be made, you’re very poorly informed.
- Reduction of fossil fuels
- Literally block out the sun
we’re fucked
Even if we stopped all use of fossil fuels overnight, there’s a lot of ‘baked in’ warming. This isn’t ‘instead of’ it’s ‘in addition to’ when it comes to halting warming.
Yep, it takes about 30 years to see the effects, what we’re dealing with right now is the 1993 emissions, if we stopped using all fossil fuels right this instant things would continue to get worse well into the 2050s.
