I think the only reason this idea is getting posted all over the internet is because someone at MIT decided to propose this. Whole thing sounds like someone trying to fix a badly written, buggy, slow program by adding more ram.
We need to fix the root of the problem, we need to find sustainable alternatives to energy production, protect natural ecosystems, find sustainable ways to make use of resources, not put some god damn sunroof over our heads and get an extension on dealing with this problem.

- lesstyzing 4y agoWhy can’t we do both? We clearly need more time so why not try to get it if we can while still also trying to deal with the root causes?
- ncmncm 4y agoYes: creating shade instead of removing carbon means the ocean ecosystem collapses, and access to protein for a billion+ people vanishes. Among other things. We cannot "do both" because money is fungible. Spending on a space boondoggle means not spending those dollars on PV and wind generating capacity that displaces fossil combustion.
