Biden Proposes Another Hairbrained Scheme

 So, it seems the Biden administration has come up with another idiotic idea.  Eric Utter at the post at the American Thinker entitled White House proposes blocking sunlight to fight global warning.

The White House recently announced that it was funding a five-year research plan for a controversial proposal to fight climate change by geoengineering — i.e., technologies and processes that can be used to artificially modify the Earth's climate.

This research would be dedicated specifically to a form of geoengineering known as "solar radiation management," which involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth. The hope is that, once the sunlight is reflected, less heat will be generated, and ergo temperatures will go down. Presto: actual anthropogenic climate change! A global SPF 100, as it were!

There is so much that is wrong with this proposal. First, it goes at cross purposes to another Biden proposal: that we get our energy using solar panels. Solar panels are notoriously inefficient as it is. Cut down the sunlight and they become even more inefficient. Second, cutting down the amount of sunlight means that photosynthesis will be less efficient, meaning that food crops will be less productive. And it is unlikely that China and India will want to go along with this hairbrained scheme.

But the real problem with this proposal is that it assumes mankind has the knowledge and the power to affect the climate.  As I have repeatedly pointed out, climate models have not been able to predict any existing climate given inputs of preceding climates.  Such models therefore can not predict the future.  It is the height of hubris and arrogance to believe that we can.  I realize that the people proposing this do not believe in God.  But it might be better to let Him worry about our climate.  He created it after all, and I for one trust Him to do the right thing.
