The funny part here when it comes to all these types of Do Something’s is that they are unintentionally admitting that the big nuclear furnace in the sky is the primary driver of climate

Scientists want to test a solar umbrella that could help fight climate change

Scientists have long looked for ways to turn the tide in our fight against climate change. So far, no matter what ideas they come up with, none have been solidified as actual missions with concrete goal. But that could change soon, as researchers plan to test a solar umbrella as a way to cut down on how much heat reaches our planet from the sun.

Researchers shared their plan to put together a mission to test a tiny sunshade at what is known as the L1 Lagrange Point — a location between Earth and the Sun where the gravitational pull of both is almost nullified. However, this tiny sunshade will only be a precursor to a much larger mission down the line.

Before deploying a large, full-scale system, the researchers say they need to see if a solar umbrella will even work in the first place. For the test, the scientists plan to use a 12U CubeSat roughly the size of a large briefcase. It will be equipped with a 144 meter solar sail, which should help demonstrate how effective these systems can be for propulsion long-term.

The idea of using space sails to propel spacecraft forward isn’t new, but this will be one of the first true tests that will help us determine if it can actually work. Once in place, the researchers say the constant flood of sunlight on the sunshade will help ensure the spacecraft stays in the right position, casting a shade over our planet.

What could possibly go wrong with this? Of course, realistically, it’s probably a money pit designed to enrich people via taxpayer funds, and nothing comes of it

Greta Thunberg’s Journey to Tool of Terrorists From Climate Change Hysteric
The real question is: Why is she in the news at all?

Professional leftist Greta Thunberg was brought to Israel this week after the “selfie yacht” she was traveling on attempted to break through a naval blockade of Gaza. Her boat, the Madleen, was part of a flotilla pretending to deliver aid to alleviate an imaginary famine. (big snip)

Ms. Thunberg, since her Time magazine cover, has achieved nothing. Her native Sweden has turned back to fossil fuels. Europe, as well. The Earth, however, is still here.

Subsequently, Ms. Thunberg has moved on to champion other trendy leftist causes, such as Black Lives Matter, and now “Free Palestine.” The only thing she understands less about than climate science seems to be the Middle East.

As far as I can tell, Ms. Thunberg has never once said anything remotely compelling or witty or smart. There are millions of young people far more worthy of attention. For years, youth shielded Ms. Thunberg from criticism.

I wonder how much longer her 15 minutes will last? And, like an aging OnlyFans model, now what? No skills.
