Moon-dust shield could help fight climate change on Earth

Launching huge amounts of moon dust toward a gravitationally stable spot between Earth and the sun could help cool our planet, a new study suggests.

What an awful nonsense! We even don't understand the highly complex pattern of climate but morons (sorry) want to make terra-form on earth. Nobody nknows the side-effects of such bullsh*t. I am very angry about embitions to play "god".

Great idea! Billions and billions in taxpayer money for "studies" by scientists and then for the contractors to do the work. Which of course is irreversible and will present us with lots of exciting surprises in the form of unforeseen consequences.

Do it! Hey, what could go wrong?

True. Especially considering that changes in Earth's climate have been happening for all of human history (and then some!), unaffected by mankind in the first place, and the present trend (very tiny, compared to past changes) is NOT going to end humanity any time soon. To wit, of all the predictions over the last 50 years made by climate-change alarmists, NONE have come true.

The problem is not too much sunlight coming from the sun but atmospheric concentration of gases that prevent the radiation of heat into space. Blocking sunlight will have a permanent long term impact on photosynthesis affecting plant ecology and agriculture, and resulting in a more devastating degradation of the environment. One dimensional thinking is not a valid scientific approach to problem solving.

I agree. The one-dimensional thinking that posits carbon dioxide as the control knob for "global mean temperature" and blames its human-caused increase for "global warming", while demanding ruinous countermeasures and misallocating scarce resources, is a major contributor to the present mess.

In reality, the planet's climate is a staggeringly complex web of inter-relationships and feedback loops upon feedback loops, with an inbuilt bias towards self-correcting any overswings and stopping the system from approaching hypothesized "tipping points", let alone runaway conditions.

No supercomputer and no model has ever come close to accurately depicting the evolution of the climate. The dire predictions of those climate scientists raking in the most research dollars turn out to be greatly exaggerated, time after time.

However, the fear evoked in the public through the constant drumbeat of catastrophic scenarios continues to be maximally exploited by a loose coalition of profiteers, from pliant researchers to politicians and bureaucrats seeking to grab more power to ideologues pushing totalitarian agendas to corporate interests looking for unfair advantages.

Until the public see through the scam, rise up, and shake off the profiteers' stranglehold, one-dimensional thinking will continue to be applied.

I wonder to what extent the cooling effect of this project would be offset by the greenhouses gases that its launches would add to the atmosphere.
