The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt global warming.
Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Joe Biden has indicated he is open to the idea.
In a report released Friday by the White House, officials suggested limiting sunlight to rapidly cool the planet, a process known as solar radiation modification (SRM).

OK, this Fool is starting to get dangerous!
IF they actually start doing this and IF they are successful and they manage to drop the temperature a couple of degrees, what are the chances of this accelerating..... it would not take much to induce crop failures on a large scale, which of course would be followed by famine.

Are these people just trying to mess with. me on this beautiful 77 degree day or are they serious? What is the temperature supposed to be?

All we need - - is for Congress to repeal daylight savings time - - and go the other way.
If the government can create extra daylight - - it can also create extra night time. So let's pass a law creating permanent night time - - so that the sun's destructive rays never touch us.
Once again - - i've thought of a simple solution - - before the "scientists" have gotten out of bed and put their pants on.

This is similar to building a cheap submersible and seeing what happens at 12,500 feet and 6,000 lbs PSI. What could possibly go wrong? Well, kick off another ice age, for one. Also, how can the US or any other country decide to shut off sunlight to other countries? This could also start a global war.

The foolishness of these presumptuous humans playing God with climate causes far more problems than not, along with resulting miseries.
God created this universe precisely as it should be and saw that it was good. Man has created some wonderful things to help us to be safe & comfortable in all kinds of weather, & other circumstances on this earth. They want to get rid of those, prevent us from using the resources God provided to create them, & try to improve on God’s creation. That is not good.
This universe had a beginning. It will have an end. It isn’t eternal. Nothing they can do will change that, or stop it.

Then we will be sued by everywhere that the solar panels do less than before, everywhere it rains, everywhere it snows. I think they had better get buy in from the En TIRE planet first. I don wanna be sued by the whole world.

He/They realize all that Canadian smoke dropped temps everywhere it passes overhead...now they want to replicate it world wide.
"Man made Climate Change"...INTENTIONAL Global Cooling, ignoring the fact that IF they do it they cannot control what happens next, how much change happens, cannot stop it when they want, and MORE people already die of cold than heat.

Y’all realize that just a short time ago, if anyone said this, the men with butterfly nets and white coats would have him in “protective custody.”
Shows how far we’ve devolved that this is presented as a policy and not the droolings of a feeble-minded person.
We are so done.

Bill gates is already at least experimenting with spraying barium and aluminum nanoparticles at high altitudes to reflect solar rays back into space.
Of course if these lunatics succeed, they are also going to have to double the number of solar panels to get the same amount of power they are producing from them.
(Not that they will need them if their other plan to get rid of 95% of us peasants succeeds.)

If this would work so great, all we would have to do is take the smoke filters of coal plants, build more of them, and completely shut down the EPA and all of their air pollution regulations. Imagine all the money we can save taking the air pollution control off of our vehicles. The planet was cooling off just fine back in the late '60s, early '70s when the glaciers were just about down to central Texas any day. Hundreds of feet thick!
We learned all about it in school.

LOL! He has been banging on about solar energy and how wonderful it is and then he wants to block the sun. How are these millions of solar panels made in China or with rare earth minerals mined by slaves owned by China going to get the light to charge all these batteries?

Where do these people get off assuming that whatever it is we have now at this exact moment in time needs to be frantically saved? They are all evolutionists anyway; shouldn't they be thinking maybe the best is yet to come? Maybe our earth will produce a way to correct any problems if let on it's own? Besides, MANAGING NATURE is an oxymoron.

Yes, by all means! Let's just block the sun lest we fry. Install a giant space blanket in the sky, reflecting light back into outer space. It's sizzling July in the Northern Hemisphere. But let's not forget that the Resident wants to build the transoceanic railway first. Amtrak across the Indian and Pacific Oceans! They'd better lay some deep pilings, up to seven miles long, especially when they build the track over the Marianas Trench. If the government engineers want any ideas how to do it, there's a Dr. Seuss book that shows great teetering stacks piled high but not toppling. Put a train track on top of that. Does Jack's beanstalk grow under seawater? Would it hold a train?

as I recall back in the 70s they wanted to spread soot on the arctic ice cap to melt it and prevent a new ice age.

Leftists ruin absolutely everything. Until now they have been doing it in small doses; the cities, forests, food chains, elections... But now they are looking to ruin the entire planet in one fell swoop. God, these people are stupid and dangerous. And look who is leading the charge. A demented corrupt pervert who doesn't even know what day it is.
The earth has been around for some several billion years and these morons think they can tamper with it.
Remember morons: It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!

These people believe that a man can become a woman and vice versa because they deem it so - and the catastrophic consequences to society be damned. It isn’t that much of stretch to believe that given the power, they will try to control the sun. “ The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.” Rev. 8:12

Wouldn't it be simpler to give everyone an umbrella and tell them to open it and point it at the Sun? The cost of this will be HUGE and a lot of the moola will end up in Quid Pro Joe's pocket and his son Snorter.

Re #41, I hope you understand that contrails are water vapor condensing from the exhaust of aircraft.
But hydrocarbons in air and you get....H2O and CO2. I'm pretty sure that almost everyone knows that H2O is water...and since it is coming from a hot exhaust, it is invisible gaseous form, until it cools in the high altitude low temps (-50F is common) into ice crystals, which appear as white "condensation trails", known since WW2 when aircraft first started flying high enough to create them, as "contrails". And yes, piston engine WW2 bombers made exactly the same contrails.
The loons who claim they are "chem trails" are......just loons, plus some useful idiots that believe them.

This idea has Insanity written all over it. The Earth is at a delicate balance in sunlight, gravity, distance of orbit, mixture of gases in the atmosphere and many other factors. Changing one element radically could kill the planet far faster than the little bit of sunshine which also happens to govern our seasons, temperatures and food supply. Biden is a hopeless dunce and needs to be impeached. If you are hot, get a beach umbrella and shut up.

As usual, #46, you cannot see the forest for the trees. Your expertise blinds you realities outside of your experience. Any mildly competent observer of the skies can tell the difference between jet contrails (no matter what they are composed of) and chemtrails. The differences are many and obvious to those with an open, curious mind. Perhaps a little more research on your part would be prudent.
