Someone is going to dim the sun, and it will be soon
notes
i appreciate articles that make a solid and verifiable prediction (especially if the timeframe is less than 2 decades)
the read is all the more interesting if you have read "the ministry of the future" (which is referenced)
with that said, a more interesting question is to hypothesize around what are the best ways to manage solar radiation and not just focus on what we know today but what we might know tomorrow.

summary
This article explores the possibility of solar radiation management (SRM) to cool the planet by reflecting sunlight. It discusses the feasibility, costs, and risks of SRM, highlighting the potential for unintended consequences. The author argues that while SRM may become a necessary tool in the fight against climate change, it should be used in conjunction with deep emissions cuts and not as a replacement. The article also examines the growing interest in SRM among billionaires and institutions, and the potential for unilateral deployment of the technology by a country or individual.
