Giant mirrors to reflect sunlight away from Earth may be needed to hit climate targets, UN says

Giant space mirrors could reflect solar radiation away from Earth (SPL)

Giant mirrors positioned to reflect sunlight back into space may be needed to meet climate targets, according to a report from the United Nations.

Solar radiation modification (SRM), also known as solar geoengineering, is among the proposals from the UN Environment Programme to use radical technology to avoid a climate emergency.

“SRM is the only known approach that could be used to cool the Earth within a few years,” the report, compiled by an expert panel of climate scientists, stated.

“Climate model simulations consistently show that SRM could offset some of the effects of increasing greenhouse gases on global and regional climate, including carbon and water cycles, but there could be substantial residual or overcompensating climate change at the regional scales.”

The report found that more research is needed to be undertaken in order to better understand the environmental and social impacts of geoengineering technologies.

I would trust a room full of Gender Studies grads  before this so-called "group of scientists'.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

So the UN decides that a decades old bit of lunacy is a great new idea? A stupid idea proposed by stupid people who have no idea how the Earth works but are more than happy to dick with it. Let's put these morons in their own little biosphere and cut the the suns light and warmth to the same degree they are proposing and let them live in their hypothesis first.
