You Can't Just Refrigerate The Atmosphere

You Can't Just Refrigerate The Atmosphere
Humanity's climate solution: "Let's just spray stuff into the sky!" The meme perfectly captures our desperate approach to geoengineering - like trying to fix a leaky nuclear reactor with duct tape. Scientists propose injecting aerosols into the stratosphere while that robot is basically saying "sure, what could possibly go wrong with modifying Earth's atmosphere?" Spoiler: probably everything. Next brilliant idea: giant space umbrella? Maybe we should try reducing emissions first, but that would require actual effort.

Things Are Getting Wild In Climate Engineering

Things Are Getting Wild In Climate Engineering
Welcome to the wild world of geoengineering, where scientists are like "Hey, climate change is bad, so let's just... turn down the sun?" The meme shows the classic Charlie conspiracy board from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia , but with ACTUAL funded scientific projects that sound like they're straight out of a supervillain's diary! Dimming the sun? Injecting stuff into the stratosphere? Refreezing the Arctic? These are real proposals getting serious funding while regular scientists can't even get money for basic lab equipment! The scientific community is basically at the "desperate measures" stage of climate intervention, and honestly, who wouldn't be a little wild-eyed explaining these plans? Next up: giant space umbrella and trained penguins with ice-making backpacks!
