The\u00a0wanton destruction of priceless art<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0heritage sites<\/a>\u00a0across Europe by climate change activists is insane, and one would think we\u2019ve reached\u00a0peaked insanity<\/a>\u00a0with this unhinged community, short of acts of eco-terrorism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, even banal actions, like a government study, can exhibit more ludicrousness than\u00a0smearing paint on a Monet<\/a>. [emphasis, links added]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest\u00a0Biden White House-endorsed study<\/strong>\u00a0into\u00a0curbing global warming<\/strong>\u00a0is not just a\u00a0case study in\u00a0wasteful spending<\/a><\/strong>; it\u2019s a\u00a0Rorschach test on\u00a0mental health<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there\u2019s a reason why they want to keep it a secret: it deals with\u00a0trying to bend sun rays<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0prevent the Earth\u2019s temperature from rising<\/strong>\u00a0(via\u00a0Politico<\/a>) [author\u2019s emphasis]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House offered measured support for the idea of studying how to block sunlight from hitting Earth\u2019s surface as a way to limit global warming, in a congressionally mandated report that could help bring efforts once confined to science fiction into the realm of legitimate debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controversial concept known as solar radiation modification is a potentially effective response to fighting climate change<\/strong>,\u00a0but one that could have unknown side effects stemming from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, some scientists say.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House report released late Friday indicates that the Biden administration is open to studying the possibility that altering sunlight might quickly cool the planet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it added a degree of skepticism by noting that Congress has ordered the review, and the administration said it does not signal any new policy decisions related to a process that is sometimes referred to \u2014 or derided as \u2014 geoengineering.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A program of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation,\u201d the White House report said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSRM offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the White House said in a statement accompanying the report, \u201cthere are no plans underway to establish a comprehensive research program focused on solar radiation modification.\u201d[\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report, which was required by Congress in a policy report accompanying the 2022 appropriations bill, was released the same week that European Union leaders opened the door to international discussions of solar radiation modification. It also followed a call by more than 60 leading scientists to increase research on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Politico noted, Biden opened the door to this nonsense, and, of course, he would; he thinks this is an existential threat to human civilization. But before that, it was white supremacy, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study reminds me of the scene in Armageddon, where NASA scientists think that by landing a shuttle on the asteroid that\u2019s barreling toward Earth and deploying a canopy, solar winds could shift it off course and prevent an extinction-level event.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This directive might not have been coming from the White House proper, but it might as well have given their\u00a0quiet blessing of this boondoggle<\/strong><\/a>.Oh, and we haven\u2019t even discussed the\u00a0dangers of us messing with the atmosphere yet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, let\u2019s do that:\u00a0the scientists\u00a0who have been wrong about everything<\/em><\/a>\u00a0regarding global warming<\/strong>\u00a0should\u00a0screw around<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with the chemical composition of\u00a0our shield against solar radiation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
