Dimming the sun: The answer to global warming?

[The answer should be a resounding NO!! Humans are alredy “experimenting” with adding aerosols and look where it’s gotten us…]

Scientists have proposed spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth's atmosphere in a bid to curb climate change.

(CNN)Scientists are proposing an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere.

The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half.
The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns.

  1. Scientists and politicians do not know enough to control pollution, to manage (or not overmanage wildlife), to manage wilderness, so why should we trust scientists to start fucking with the atmosphere?

  2. LOL, there are already ‘sun-dimming’ chemicals produced by humans in the atmosphere – it’s called smog.

    But tinkering with the sun’s light could harm plant life and other life?

  3. There is only a limited way to diminish anthropocentric climate change (maybe):

    1. Quit breeding
    2. Quit eating beef and meats
    3. Quit driving gargantuan vehicles, building gargantuan houses, etc.

    None of which is going to happen anytime soon – and we still will have the past damage.
