Hundreds of documents show how researchers failed to notify officials in California about a test of technology to block the sun’s rays — while they planned a much huger sequel.
It is if it involves using fossil fuels to run aircraft to do it or the cost would result in better returns elsewhere like with insulation or if the process is putting chemicals in the air not naturally there or if it increases we bulb temperature. etc. etc. fucking with things in hopes of effect as not as effective as doing things with known actual beneficial effects. Its like carbon capture. If it produces more co2 than it captures it is a non starter.
8 billion people nudging the thermostat will have a much greater effect than artificially increasing clouds and won’t cost any energy and cause more global warming as part of the process. Its a one and done. Even at 1 billion and even at 100 million.
“More clouds” should not be controversial.

Guy pushing chemical-industry paint subsidy performatively strokes chin.
The fuck is insulation supposed to do for greenhouse gases?
insulation reduces energy usage for heating and cooling and I assume the first part was sarcasm.
My guy. Nudging your thermostat is not gonna make the wiggly line in the sidebar go back down.
Stopping sunlight from reaching the ocean, will.

Increased cloud cover could cause another ice age.
If we stopped all human energy use, immediately - the climate’s still in deep shit.
and if everyone put a foot down on one side of the earth and took their foot up on the other the earth would spin out of orbit.
No it wouldn’t. https://what-if.xkcd.com/8/
You do not understand this problem.
Sending energy to space, as light, is your proposed solution. What do you think clouds do?
Exactly how much paint do you imagine is necessary, versus cloud formations that are visible from the moon?
