WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
This is scary AF! We’re technically still in an ice age, and these psychopaths want to block the main source of life — THE SUN? Way more people die from cold than heat, and they want less sunlight? Genocidal death cult! pic.twitter.com/obrsdHVht9

UPDATE (From Ed): Why are the Brits trying something so crazy that Barry O. himself refused to implement it, even at the height of Hopenchange fever, when his administration could have done pretty much anything they wanted to do?
Still though, could be worse:
James Lileks writes, “I was somewhat alarmed by this story:”
“Experiments to dim the SUN in bid to curb global warming will be approved by the UK government within weeks.” (Daily Fail, but they’re quoting a Telegraph story.) Of all the countries to come up with the idea of reducing the amount of sun its residents get, England would seem to be last on the list. Also, this is how the Matrix got started. Also, I think a poll of most of England outside of the government, universities, and tanks of Cogitating Boffins would regard the idea as utter tosh, because Climate Dread is quite low on the list of concerns for most UK residents. I’m sure there are plenty of people who have it so good they can devote all their mental activities to appeasing the contentious relationship between the Sun God and the Earth Mother, with an hour set aside each day to worry about Knife Crime (blades are just jumping up from the gutter into the hands of people and wiping away their entire personal moral construct, forcing them to stab without thought) and the Growing Peril of the millions of proto-Adolescent young men who are being drawn to the dark side by gormless dorks such as Andrew Tate, but outside of these types, maybe there’s a general assumption that the government should not muck about with the Sun.
Or to put it another way: Democrats Move to Destroy the Earth.
To paraphrase Peter Arnett, it was necessary to destroy the Global Village in order to save it.
