not that we have the technical capability to dim the sun.
Actually this has me thinking about something from scifi… I think it was Ring world or something like that, where they basically made a ring of solar shields so as the ring world spun around the shields would create night and day cycles. Now imagine if we did something like that which only shaded the sun every couple days, and we built massive solar collectors on the inside of each shade? Solve global warming and the energy crisis all in one shot!
Now if only that whole free market would get its ass in gear…
yeah, that was ringworld.
ideally, we’d need the same tech-base that they had in the Mars Trilogy (whichever one where Sax deploys the shield against Venus) - maybe in 150 years…
Praying for our corporate overloads to commercialise the sun! We would make trillions!
Send up a satellite to open an umbrella in space.
I mean did we even want to try that method?

But imagine the shareholder value that was created
Hopefully they all cashed in on that beach front property
i understood that reference
“Our simulations show that the most effective way to prevent long-term collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is rapid decarbonization,”
period
But muh cheap Antarctic resources!
What if we snuff out the sun tho? That would work right?
wait a minute, has that always been a choice? can we do that tomorrow, just for funsies, i think that’d be wild. let’s do it, let’s dim the fucking sun. i don’t think we can do it (reverse psychology)
