You have to wonder what the unintended consequences of this could be
(Daily Mail) The sky could turn from a reassuring blue to a blank white if scientists are forced to take drastic action to tackle global warming, experts have claimed.
By injecting aerosols which scatter light into the atmosphere we could reflect more sun away from Earth and cool the planet.
But the knock-on effect would be the scattering of red particles around the atmosphere that wash out the blue.
The result would be skies that turn into a foggy or hazy white instead of the crisp colours we are used to on a summer’s day.
Wait, I thought the sun had no effect on the climate? Oh, I get it, they’re trying to say that by reducing the amount of sunlight entering the atmosphere there would be less to be trapped by CO2, a trace greenhouse gas necessary for life. Got it.
Of course, this would mean less sunlight for solar receptors. Which could mean a higher reliance on fossil fuels.
And doing this could seriously change weather patterns, which are primarily driving by the Sun (not just sunlight, to be sure, but sunlight tends to impact the immediate weather).
