It comes as a welcome relief to Americans that we're no longer the only nation blowing through unfathomable amounts of money to learn, once and for all, just how deep FAFO goes.
Oh, Fauci and company had us in the top spot for quite awhile, investing our tax dollars to create new ways to kill millions of human beings then doubling down by giving mRNA poisoning to Covid survivors. It is truly a situation in which "Oops, sorry" just seems an insufficient degree of penance.
But today is a new day...and soon to be a dimmer day. Because researchers in the UK have just committed to spending $66 million in hopes of fighting climate change by dimming the sun. Because there's certainly nothing that could go wrong with that plan, right?
Happily, the sun itself is in no danger as all the dimming will be taking place right here in the Earth's atmosphere, which will be made "more reflective" to bounce sunlight back into space. This process will require scientists to flood the atmosphere with chemicals which will almost certainly be 100% safe for us to breathe. Seriously, how much damage can a lungful of tiny shiny shards do?
The benefits of dimness (which is a book title waiting to happen) will be profound. For one thing, it will stop climate change in its tracks, assuming that researchers' wild guesses and spurious studies are right about what causes climate change. Which, to date, they haven't been.
Still, there will be effects we can confidently predict. Reducing the amount of solar energy entering our atmosphere will effectively put every plant that uses photosynthesis on a crash diet. So there will be less food grown, less carbon dioxide uptake, and less oxygen production. Solar panels will produce less electricity. Weather patterns will be affected, as well as our planet's myriad (and delicately balanced) ecosystems,
Sufficient dimness will additionally impact animal behavior, including human animals who tend to develop depression when deprived of enough light.
Or when contemplating more a**holes in lab coats performing potentially catastrophic experiments.
