Jesus. I always assumed there was creepy, evil "rich people doing weird shit" kinda stuff going on behind the scenes there, but this is worse than the masked-bloodpact-orgy-dressup deal I imagined.
Fun fact, the kinetic energy a comet would gain from falling into the Earth's gravity well is around 60MJ/kg, more than two orders of magnitude greater than the energy which would be absorbed by it melting (0.33MJ/kg).
I’ve seen a bunch of Terminator style movies where an AI slices, dices, scorches and/or nukes humanity to oblivion long before climate change gets us. I have it on good authority that we don’t need worry about the temperature change.
When they first announced the launching of solar reflecting particles into the atmosphere to cool down the planet I thought it was pitched by a youtuber or someone
Honestly the best solution is the one that is probably the least feasible; an array of solar reflectors/collectors geosynchronously orbiting between the Earth and the Sun. Not only would it reduce the amount of sunlight getting to the planet, but you can manufacture them in space and use them to make electricity, hooray! But relax the space infrastructure to be able to pull it off right now. Maybe in a hundred years.
