The Biden administration has sparked controversy and online ridicule following the revelation of a document suggesting they are considering researching methods to block sunlight as a means to combat climate change. This proposed geoengineering approach, involving techniques like “stratospheric aerosol injection” and “marine cloud brightening,” has been met with skepticism and concern.

Social media users expressed disbelief, with some drawing parallels to previous pandemic-related policies. Actor and comedian Rob Schneider questioned the logic behind the proposal, while former Canadian politician Roman Baber highlighted the perceived irony of the situation. Musician An0maly simply stated, “We don’t need to block the sun! These people are insane.”

The White House has since clarified that there are no immediate plans to establish a comprehensive research program focused on solar radiation modification. However, the initial revelation has ignited a debate about the potential risks and benefits of such drastic climate interventions.
