    A short Simpsons clip from Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1 in which Mr. Burns declares the sun his enemy and plans to block it out.

    Quoted as a joke whenever sunshades, geoengineering or anti-solar policy come up.

    1. @DocTomoeOct 2022· in “Cooling the Earth with a sunshade near the inner Lagrange point (2006)”

      Friendly reminder that a private company with launch capability currently is massively increasing the space junk problem and about to trigger the Kessler scenario for a quick buck and internet access without cables, while at the same time ruining surface-based astronomy.
