“British scientists could experiment with techniques to block sunlight as part of a £50m (€58m) government-funded scheme to combat global warming. The geo-engineering project is set to be given the go-ahead within weeks and could see scientists explore techniques including launching clouds of reflective particles into the atmosphere or using seawater sprays to make clouds brighter. Another method involves thinning natural cirrus clouds, which act as heat-trapping blankets.”

Oh, ffs, what could possibly go wrong.
@aral
1) wasn’t that literally the plot device for Snowpiercer?
2) what about all the solar panels we’re deploying? How are we going to move to 100% renewables if we start hampering them like that…
@gareth Don’t worry, AI will solve it.
