The White House cautiously endorsed the idea of studying how to block sunlight from hitting Earth’s 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.

    Sure, blocking the sun will surely be easier and more effective than taxing the rich assholes causing climate change.

      In fact, it very well might be. I recall reading about a study done a year or two back that concluded that a fleet of high-altitude aircraft injecting calcium carbonate particulates into the stratosphere could counteract anthropogenic climate change for a cost of about $2 billion per year.
