Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 3 weeks agoIsn’t that the point of tests? Do something at a more limited scale to see what the results of that are?

1st of all…the Sun isn’t the problem. It isn’t getting brighter or hotter. The problem is us. So, “fixing” something that isn’t broken, isn’t going to actually “fix” anything. It will just introduce additional variables to an already ridiculously complex equation.
Not to mention, it may even give the fossil fuel industry and its supporters a justification to continue doing more damage, under the false pretense that the problem has been “solved”. So, where does it stop? When we’ve blocked out the Sun entirely, but are still choking to death on our own industrial exhaust?

You’re right, we should just let the world end instead

Lol! This isn’t going to save it. The problem will just keep getting worse, no matter how dim we make the sun…because the sun isn’t the problem.
