“Here comes the sun, and I say, it’s all right” – Incorrect, Mr. Harrison!
“Good day sunshine” – Not so fast, Mr. Lennon and Mr. McCartney!
Scientists in the United Kingdom are calling for a £50 million injection of public funds to address what they claim is the sun’s contribution to “runaway climate change.”
These climate cult advocates propose an unconventional solution to control the weather and prevent the impending catastrophe: dimming the sun.
(Evidently, for these climate cult enthusiasts, sunshine on their shoulders does not bring happiness.)
According to Simon Kent’s article in Breitbart News, the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria) is considering various outlandish ideas, all funded by taxpayers’ money.
The Daily Telegraph reports that scientists, with government approval and £50 million in taxpayer funds, are exploring options such as injecting aerosols into the atmosphere or brightening clouds to reflect sunlight to combat runaway climate change.
While the old-school cloud seeders seem quaint compared to Aria’s grand plans, the UK government is fully onboard to foot the bill for what could be dubbed “Operation Daedalus.”
Despite the audacious plan to confront the sun, the climate cultists assure us that they won’t meet the same fate as Icarus from Greek mythology, who flew too close to the sun.
Professor Mark Symes promises “small controlled outdoor experiments on specific approaches,” emphasizing safety and responsible research practices. However, it’s worth noting that the British public is the one funding these endeavors.
“Everything we do is going to be safe by design. We’re absolutely committed to responsible research, including responsible outdoor research… We have strong requirements around the length of time experiments can run for and their reversibility, and we won’t be funding the release of any toxic substances to the environment.”
(Author’s Note: The professor is not funding anything. The British public is.)
So, the only thing at risk here is someone else’s money. What could possibly go wrong with “stratospheric aerosol injection” involving launching sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes up to 12 miles high? Unforeseen consequences, you say? Preposterous. It’s almost like suggesting that COVID originated from a lab leak.
Despite the questionable logic of dimming the sun in a place like England, known for its limited sunshine, it’s probably best not to question the climate cult’s wisdom, especially in a country increasingly hostile to free speech. Perhaps it’s wise to avoid having “Let the Sunshine In” on your playlist.
However, concerns about the potential unintended consequences of altering the weather aren’t limited to climate deniers. The Telegraph highlights the controversy surrounding geoengineering projects that aim to artificially manipulate the climate, with critics warning of potential harmful side effects.
It’s ironic that environmental purists who insist on organic foods are advocating for artificial interventions to reduce sunlight. It’s akin to the climate cult’s version of “We have to destroy a village to save it,” perhaps with dimwits chanting, “I’m blocking out sunshine” to the tune of Katrina and the Waves’ 1980s hit?
Despite their credentials, the climate cult, led by the dimwits, refuses to acknowledge that no amount of education can make anyone infallible. The bitter irony lies in the possibility that a manmade climate apocalypse could result from the misguided actions of individuals like these interfering with nature in an attempt to control it.
As the dawn approaches and fatigue sets in, one can only hope that the dimwits’ “dawn surprise” doesn’t usher in the next Ice Age or something worse.
While it’s easy to succumb to fear, that’s not the path to take. As Annie sang, “The sun will come up tomorrow.” After all, the British public has bet £50 million on it, right?
