Article: Bill Gates wants to dim the sun to help cool the planet.

[Button Pusher]

Is he a dim light bulb or a genius? Many airplanes will fly high and dump millions of tons of calcium carbonate into the upper atmosphere reflecting sunlight away from the Earth.
This sound exactly what may happen if we have massive nuclear weapons detonated, a nuclear winter.

Bill Gates Is Thinking About Dimming the Sun

The billionaire is backing a study of the controversial technology called solar geoengineering.

Bill Gates will discover that Bang-Bang Control is not effective at dimming the sun... he needs more than Gain.

Let’s ask the dinosaurs how they feel about blocking the sun.

 

[Tailhunter]

Shut up Bill Gates.

Wasn’t this part of what happened in The Matrix?

Shut up Bill Gates.

See what happens when you take the Covid Vaccine.

At this point, why not?

I'm ready the full on conversion to dystopian science-fiction life.

I've felt like I'm living in a Marvel movie for a little over a year now.

I don't know anything about marvel, but I'm ready for some full-on John Shirley plot at this point.

Obviously he doesn't know what happens when he reaches for millions of dad's thermostats...

 

[GymB]

Trade off from reduced photosynthesis would completely offset this, even before factoring in the cost to launch the stuff.

 

[Charlie]

I wonder whether the decrease in incoming short wavelength solar radiation would be more than offset by decreased outgoing long wavelength radiation? Would it be a sunshield or a thicker blanket? The modeling those folks have done has not been too accurate.

Bill,

Go enjoy some good dim sum and leave dim sun and the rest of the human race alone.

[ChickenHawk]

So solar power is not the future?

 

[Diablos]

this sounds like an avenger level threat

Actually, this isn't something new, and it can be done at an exceptionally cost effective way. To the tune of tens of millions of dollars, not billions or trillions of dollars.

I've got to find an article on this I ran across elsewhere. I believe it's dated about a decade or so ago.

Turning the deserts white (instead of black with solar panels) will cool the planet.

Ah...found it:

And, like it or not, Bill Gates funds a lot of really cool R&D. Ever heard of a Traveling Wave Reactor? Google it. Imagine a nuclear reactor you can operate for a century without having to refuel.

This is just too dumb.

I only speak in little words, but this thought occured to me, too

Yup
But

Old saying; "what happens when you give Dumb people money?"



Loosely, as I recall Gates purchased D.O.S. and early versions of Microsoft were based on it.

Also, I largely remember Gates as being an effective marketing strategist to sell ~ force Windoze into the market place.

His talents seem to be much stronger in sales ~ marketing as I believe others were responsible for continued development of Windoze.

We need better cyborgs first, so let's hold off a few more years.

 

[cold1]

Why do people think that Bill Gates is some sort of technology Oracle? He developed a computer operating system 40 years ago and made some killer deals. Since then, what has he done? How has his accomplishments made him into an authority on everything from climate change to vaccines?

Simpsons did it.
