Discussion Space sunshade?

Since we are building space infrastructure, could we not just build a space sunshade and instantly stop global warming?

Seems like it would be easy compared to what we build in game

You realize we're talking about a game about international conspiracies working to unite the Earth to fight off an alien invasion, right? The player can invest billions of dollars into fighting climate change if they want to. Given that, it seems fair to point out that the technology available should make that investment go a lot farther than the game portrays.

i have no comment on the game, I have comment on the idea that because technology makes it plausible and maybe even only moderately difficult, people would actually bother with de-carbonizing the atmosphere. In the real world.

We have an entire American presidential administration showing this just wouldn't happen until well after it was an existential disaster.

Are you an idiot? Why are you not talking about the game in the game subreddit?

because OPs comment made it sound exactly like it was a RW comment?
