Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well fuck... I guess one way or another our lifestyles will have to change. Either by severe action to mitigate climate change, or by the impending climate catastrophes things are going to be unpleasant.
We're too stubborn. We're gonna throw shit into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight.
~~We're~~ Corporations are too stubborn. ~~We're~~ They are gonna throw shit into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight.
FTFY
I mean I think it's cool as shit if it works. It'd be pretty lit if we managed to fuck up so badly and avoid murdering a bunch of poors to fix it.
Just wait: they’ll declare it an emergency and then authorize space slaves, working ‘round the clock to build it. Yes, they’ll be the poors, and their bodies will probably be deemed “too dangerous to remove” from the dome, so we’ll basically end up shielding the earth with the bodies of those poor people.
Mark my words. I honestly don’t believe this is at all far from being possible, if such technology ended up existing.
And that’s when the farm workers will suddenly be paid well and protected somewhat, because it’ll turn into a bunch of private university educated white kids taking “gap years.”
That's too expensive and it works really be cheaper just to automate it
"We engineered the space suits our workers will use out of a UV-reflective material, so we don't even need to recovery the bodies!"
I've been saying for two years now that you cannot convince me that there isn't a ready made contingency plan somewhere in the White House that involves using modified nuclear weapons to facilitate a mini nuclear winter, to counteract greenhouse gas emissions.
I'm saving my bottlecaps.
Really we just need a relatively cheap (and relatively non-toxic) chemical that's more reflective than our atmosphere.
yeah either by sever action years ago or by things being unpleasant. With sever action now making things less unpleasant than they otherwise could be.
