The White House recently announced that it was funding a
five-year research plan for a controversial proposal to fight climate
change by geoengineering, i.e. technologies and processes that can be
used to artificially modify the Earth’s climate.
This research would be dedicated specifically to a form of
geoengineering known as “solar radiation management,” which involves spraying
fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth. The hope
is that, once the sunlight is reflected, less heat will be generated and ergo temperatures
will go down. Presto, actual anthropogenic climate change! A global SPF 100, as
it were!
The research reportedly will attempt to model how solar
radiation management might impact the atmosphere, as well as assess its
viability as a potential technique to be employed to “manage near-term climate
risk.”
They’re hoping to fight the scourge of climate
change by blindly trying to change the climate? What is it with Democrats? They’re
also fighting racism with racial quotas and making race the primary
consideration in, well, everything. That’s working well, isn’t it! Next,
they’ll propose fighting drug abuse by giving out free needles and crack pipes.
Oh wait, they’re already doing that. Why haven’t they yet suggested we combat
STDs by having indiscriminate, unprotected sex with as many other people as
possible?
Now they’re going to “cancel”
the sun, without which life on Earth would be impossible? What could go
wrong?!
And would this be a
unilateral decision? “Hope the rest of you guys don’t mind, but we’re blocking
the sun! Oops, we didn’t expect that! Our bad. Sorry, might be a bit
chillier than we’d like for a while!”
What the hell?!
And yet a U.S. regulatory
agency now tells us that large
swaths of North America may face blackouts and other energy emergencies during bouts of extreme cold
this winter, due to coal and natural gas shortages.
Thanks,
guys! Anything else you want to do to for us while you’re at it? Better
get started with your sun block!
A suggestion for the Bite-me Biden
administration: maybe we could just throw a giant thermal-reflective blanket
over the sun and see what that does.
“There’s nothing
new under the sun” is an old cliché. If this “plan” goes through, there might
not be anything old, either.
They can
put this plan “where the sun don’t shine.” Which, in a few years, might
be everywhere.
