That is actually a proposal, though not directly of course. They want to put sun blocking particles in the atmosphere that will shade the Earth. From my understanding it would kind of work but it would make things far worse in the long run.
They want to be able to just mindlessly consume in the quest for infinite growth without any repercussions.
If we're going to block out the sun, could we at least do it from the L1 point?? We'd get a nice boost to the global space industry, it would be cool as hell, way more predictable, and we could just filter out infrared.
Yeah, like, if we keep fucking up the environment long enough, stuff like that might be more and more necessary, but it's going to have all kinds of nasty consequences. So like, it'd be better to just stop polluting lol, obviously. And even if we get to the stage where geoengineering is put into effect, it won't be relatively responsible stuff ran by non-captured governments and scientists, but awful designs by the shittiest capital interests.
libertarians: "we need to extinguish the sun"

It's also totally insane. Reducing the amount of light coming into the biosphere is a horrible idea.
Plants don't grow from heat, they grow with light.
Oh I know. It's a fucking insane thing to do. Sadly they will do it if it means protecting fossil fuel profits.
Yeah. Liberals with their Mr. Burns-esque ideas and we leftists are the unrealistic ones
