So we've got this problem of the atmosphere trapping too much heat from solar radiation hitting the surface and the plan is to increase the amount of solar radiation hitting the surface?
- brynnbee 3mo agoIt's fine just setup mirrors on the ground to bounce the light back to the satellite! (/s)
- Cthulhu_ 3mo agoYou jest but if one sattelite can be used to focus light onto the earth, it can also be used to focus it away from it, evening it out.
- attila-lendvai 3mo agoit'll be great for the GDP, too!
- kadoban 3mo agoIt could only ever increase by the surface area of the satellite lens things. It'll be a rounding error compared to the surface area of Earth (or compared to the effect of greenhouse gasses over the time period you're setting up these things).
- hoppp 3mo agoExactly. We don't have enough energy apparently and need more warming.
- verzali 3mo agoYou could turn the mirrors around and reflect sunlight away from the planet. That might be useful. Imagine using it during a heatwave.
- garbagewoman 3mo agoTrue, deny sunlight to whomever, also sounds dystopian
