So you know I usually kid about the sun when I post my link to this blog on Facebook. Generally I say: While you can look to the sun/Fun with words and words for fun.
Sometimes I say: Before they tax it, look to the sun/Fun with words and words for fun. Or: While they let you look to the sun/Fun with words…
And sometimes I say: Look to the sun while you can, you don’t know how long they’ll let you.
It was all in good fun. It had its point, but it was mostly in jest.
But
Ever heard of sun dimming technology? Well it is part of solar engineering and it is being lauded by none other than that technology guru, maker of crappy software, Bill Gates. Mr. Microsoft himself.
The proposal is to launch a cloud around the sun to partially block it from coming to the earth. Its purpose is to ease global warming and reduce our impact on the planet.
It is real. It is being discussed and proposed and considered.
Here goes the sun.
