Sun dimming

[Jack2jack]

Not going to work here, there's nothing to dim. What's your thoughts.

UK scientists to launch outdoor geoengineering experiments

Blocking sunlight could temporarily slow the climate crisis but the technologies remain highly controversial

The chemtrail mob will have a field day with this.

Yes well indeed. I'm must be honest here, I'm not a big fan of messing with nature, I think we need to leave well alone, it's a step too far, but what do I know.

I couldn’t agree more.

I thought, by the title of this thread, that it would be about the same scenario used in one of my favorite films " Sunshine" for a minute. As you were.

The money would be better spent filling in potholes or something...

Bizarre ain't it i.e. this 'green' and 'net-zero' agenda, with vast expansion/plans for solar energy farms to harness the power from the sun? And with stated government/Ed Miliband intent wanting 100 million solar panels to be strewn across the U.K by 2035.

To then? Block the sun out? LOL!

As much a contradiction as wanting to stop people smuggling gangs by increasing the smugglers customer base by providing even greater incentive(s)/reward(s) for that customer base to enter the U.K in the first place, when?... Serco/U.K taxpayers will be dishing out free-houses and accommodation.

Mmmmm what country will the smugglers clientele choose to come to and reside in? Is it to be a tent in France? Or an all expenses paid two up and two down in blighty? That'll "smash the gangs" LOL!

Absolute goons! Every Tom dick and harry should now by now that the planet getting warmer is cyclic.

I just hope they are testing this for emergency measures, Because basically testing this, is a pre numptive to block the sun out for the whole planet.

Thought this thread was about Chinese food at first glance.

It's disappointing when that happens.

I still haven't got over the Gigs thread not being about Ryan Giggs.

So, we could get together and enter a new age where civilization is transitioned from fossil fuels to renewable energy, creating countless new jobs in growing dynamic industries and easing global man-made climate concerns...or we could...

*checks notes*

...work out how to turn down the sun...

Yes, that'll do it. On the right track, as you were.

Better not have an effect akin to a nuclear winter? And messing about with mother nature has failed before e.g. BSE epidemic when cows were turned into cannibals via the diet they were fed. The solar-block initiative sounds as nuts as that.

I mean there’s obviously a strong argument that the money could be better spent on other things (there always is) but y’know. Small scale. Experimental. No one’s causing a nuclear winter here like. Unless of course it all goes badly wrong and we find ourselves on a post apocalyptic hellhole but on the plus side of that, at least the “for you” section of twitter will die with us.

It’s quite scary too be honest. They talked about blocking the sun out, back in Covid times, Bill gates blah blah blah, but here we are now, they are about to test. At my age, I don’t think it will have any repercussions for me, but for my children and grandchildren. All I can say is absolute nutty professor goons.

Hopefully it's small-scale with competence involving an area of six square feet by six square feet.

An example of incompetence i.e. the (nuclear testing) irradiation of Marshall Islands, Nevada Desert, Christmas Islands, (I knew one involved) Royal Engineers, U.S troops and native inhabitants etc. That all started off in some government office and lab somewhere. To think governments could do that!

And then there was the BSE crisis with millions of cows being fed other cows. The question is do you trust governments to do the right thing?

It was only sheer chance that the BSE prion-pathogen did not mass-infect, because one expert Professor Richard Lacey (and others) claimed it could have been millions. Thankfully the species barrier for new-variant CJD crossover was limited, but it could have been vastly worse. Respect mother nature in its natural form?
