#1 OMFG, are they F*CKING INSANE?!! Do they want a frigging ice age? Shit like this is how you get one. They wanna terraform something to be perfect, shove them all in a rocket and dump them on Venus. After they demonstrate how to bring about Utopia, maybe then they can try here. We're already expecting a bad winter and that cuts the growing seasons, you pull this crap and we might be lucky to see food grown in greenhouses.

Just No.

#2 Imagine the lawsuits: "Global Terraforming causes Monsoon to fail for decade in Southeast Asia!" (Prove that it doesn't cause Bad Weather --I dare you!)

The Wachowskis have proven it,
it's gonna be fun.
We new age scientists,
with our hair in a bun.
We're going to finally
tear gas the everlovin' Sun!
It worked in the movie, ok?

#4 ...There's an excellent sci-fi novel called Fallen Angels where the greens finally get their way and end 'global warming'...only to find that 'global warming' was the only thing keeping the worst ice age of all at bay...

#5 Yes, I've read that. I loved how the heat was turned off at night to 'save' energy and essentially weed out old and sick people by hypothermia.

The LSD's want Solar Power and Clean Energy and they also want to reduce sunlight that is the source that generates that power?

Seriously, this isn't a Babylon Bee joke, is it?

#7 BTW:
Given the push to cremate instead of bury and the fact Crops and Vegetables NEED the SUN grow.

Have the LSD's started building Soylent Green Factories yet?

Ere did this world hang,
and thousands upon it liv'd.
But some pestilence, some... thang,
to the rulers wickedness gived.
And now it just hangs there,
all life hath been seived.

#15 I remember a plan to cover the oceans in iron oxide to prevent global cooling.

Can't we please find a cure for insanity (yes I know a .45 will do it, but...)

#16 I don't think the 10 billion will be spent putting material into the sky to block the sun. They'll pay for launches because of the optics, and then pocket the rest of the cash each year.

Then they will start to accurately talk about the global temperatures and credit their scam with the end of climate change, but insist the change will reverse or get worse then ever if we ever stop spending the 10 billion a year!.

#17 Why do these ideas always come from Entertainment, and then always from The Bad Guy or Plot Device of Dystopian Future?

#18 Can we do the spray particles and ditch the whole Ukraine funding thing? Maybe we can spray Cheeze Wiz instead for cheaper.

#19 Are we having fun yet?

Bread Prices Skyrocket as Inflation Grips Europe
The elevated costs of flour, nuts, eggs and even electricity are forcing bakers to increase their prices and cut their production.

#20 We're already expecting a bad winter and that cuts the growing seasons, you pull this crap and we might be lucky to see food grown in greenhouses.

What do you think their intent is? Greenhouses? Think again.
