The solution to global warming, then, is clearly to just set up a massive ring of fans all pointed in the same direction in a ring around the North Pole, to keep the jet stream going

Not the worst geoengineering idea.
Not a good idea, but I've heard worse
That is the worst geoengeniering idea. https://whatif.xkcd.com/162/
Outer space is a lot higher up than Niagara Falls,^[citation ^needed]
Lmao
Isn't that literally just a thinly veiled Futurama reference? Like, there was an episode where planet Express was sent out to fetch ice from Haley's comet to dump in the ocean to combat global warming which fails and they end up just pushing the earth farther away from the sun to cool things down?
It's mentioned in the article.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold up: it’s NOT foreigners?!?

You can't use logic with these people, they'll try to burn you for being a witch.
If those people could read they'd be very upset.
I just hope we’re not seeing the start of a shutdown of the North Atlantic current, which is likely what led to the Younger Dryas ice age, which marked a dramatic climate shift and widespread extinction event over just a couple of decades:
The change was relatively sudden, took place over decades, and resulted in a decline of temperatures in Greenland by 4–10 °C (7.2–18 °F),[4] and advances of glaciers and drier conditions over much of the temperate Northern Hemisphere. A number of theories have been put forward about the cause, and the hypothesis historically most supported by scientists is that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which transports warm water from the Equator towards the North Pole, was interrupted by an influx of fresh, cold water from North America into the Atlantic.
Right now, it’s looking like that may have already started. If that’s the case, things will become very hot and then abruptly freeze, not over the course of a century, but virtually overnight.
When you stop and actually think about our situation you realise how thin our operating margins are, we are at the mercy of whatever the planet does and our safety is subject to immediate dismissal should the conditions change. Worse of course are the random cosmic whims which could wipe us out instantly at any time e.g. comets, the sun going weird, etc.
It's a thought that gives me comfort that we, as a species, will be evicted before we can do irreparable damage so that life can continue to evolve without us.
Y'all ready to be gouged for survival items until money becomes irrelevant?
P.S. 'A Capitalist Apocalypse' would be a fun title for a political comedy song.
Even as the US hits record setting lows, the temperature of the planet as a whole remains above average. If it's -20°F across the entire US, how hot must the rest of the planet be?
-20F? Where?
That was hyperbole, I don't know if it's been -20°F across the entire country at any one time, but there was a couple years ago when we had that big freeze and Texas almost died
But also gets that low in my own city sometimes
So that's why that is
Too many people do not understand the difference between weather and climate.
For being so smart, we are so dumb
It's not just that we're stupid. We're also selfish.
Many are proud of their stupidity.
And their selfishness.
Ahem…. Shouldn’t that be ‘fewer’ ice?
(JK)
Yep that's a shit post alright
Al Gore and many others said there wouldn't be any ice at all in the polar regions by 2013.
Obviously climate change it happening, but the computer models they keep showing have been proven to be bullshit over and over.
