I almost thought you were being serious until I read this one lol
Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.
Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 6 days agoHonestly, that is actually a perfect example of how stupid this whole idea is. Imagine actively promoting the burning of sulfur, in order to try and reflect sunlight. That is the definition of the solution creating even more problems than it solves.

He is. Irrational people are irrational.

You wouldn’t need to use sulfur if you actually did it on purpose. You could use many other methods to make clouds.

There was a planned test of getting a glider up to the stratosphere and releasing SO2 and H2S and watching effects, temps, dispersal, etc. Someone made an article and there was so much uproar that the test was canceled.
We’re able to create, destroy, vent, and dump whatever as long as there’s a profit, but a small test to see what happens absolutely NOT. Science is all about pulling threads, trying to figure out something new however small in the hopes others can build on it. Nature already does this. We just doing it in a controlled manner.

Why would you need to do a test if something, when you can simply observe the same results from a naturally occurring event?
Science isn’t about doing things just to see what happens. That’s absurd. And wildly unethical.
