Science Gone Very, VERY, Wrong.
This, is the most abhorrent abdication of responsibility I’ve ever witnessed.
What the fuck are these nut jobs thinking?
“Yeah…so, if too much sun and pollution makes the planet too warm, we’ll just…you know…block out some of the sun.”
Brilliant motherfuckers. Absolutely brilliant.
BTW - Everyone, really…go see Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvienient Truth.
Why do I spend so many days feeling like I’m insane, when it’s pretty clear that it really is in fact, most of the other people in the world?
I have an idea, why don’t we set a few oil wells on fire as a sacrifice to God? Maybe he would see how much of that precious blood money we were wasting on his behalf, and just block out part of the sun for us?
I hate people. I really do.
It’s really not complicated in any way, shape or form. Pollution, caused by humans, is causing global warming. Either we stop polluting, or we die. If we can’t stop, because we love our way of life too much, we die. Think about that.
The idea these insane fucktards put forth is to block out some of the sun, so that we can continue to pollute and not change our lifestyles. If we aren’t willing to change when our heads are literally on the chopping block, what makes them think we will change when we know we have a few more years to deal with it, because of the giant Blu-Blocker we’ve put in space? All that would happen is that in a few years, we’d have to block more of the sun. A few years after that, even more…then, no sun would be left. Hey! No global warming if there isn’t any sun getting to us!
I say we either find a safe and sane way to correct global warming, or we die. Either way, we brought it on ourselves.

Darwin truly is rolling over in his coffin. Humans have managed to survive in the face of a dynamic environment in spite of our evolutionary handicaps because of our one advantage: our brains. Thanks to our brains, we’ve invented technologies that have allowed us to thrive and become the dominant species on Earth in spite of the fact that we aren’t the fastest or most naturally-equipped predators.
In the wild, humans would be food.
But I digress. Our technology has enabled us to thrive by altering our environment to suit our needs, rather than adapting to the environment or dying out (a subject you’re touching on here). The thing is, we can’t maintain this forever: there has to be a backlash, and the longer the wait, the greater the weight. You can’t fight evolution, you can’t fight nature forever.
As long as we continue to use our technology in such blatantly irresponsible ways, we will be the architects of our own destruction.

And therein lies the irony: it’s thanks to our collective brain that we have developed technology to allow us to thrive in the situations we have manifested for ourselves on Earth. It’s also in spite of our same brain that we were ever able to create the situations that have put our existence in peril in the first place.
