Tony BarkElon Musk Announces Plan to Control Climate by Surrounding Earth in Adjustable Satellites
MonkderVierteThat’s not how weather works you moron.
harmsyTechnically, physics does allow a satellite-based method to deal with climate change. Economics, on the other hand, does not. You would need to chuck an unfathomable amount of mass into orbit.
Not really. Case in point - the Moon. It’s absolutely massive, like several orders of magnitude larger than any satellite we’ve ever launched, and when it happens to line up just right between the Earth and the Sun, the umbra is only like 150km wide.
