Billionaires Reportedly Working On Blocking Out The Sun

This isn’t just the plot of a bad sci-fi movie anymore. With the planet getting hotter and natural disasters becoming more frequent, a group of billionaires have taken on an ambitious project…they want to block out the sun. Bill Gates and a handful of other billionaires have created a startup called Make Sunsets with the goal of reversing global warming through “solar engineering.” In simplified terms, their play would be to “fly a jet around the planet that dumps sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.” The SO2 would then “blanket the stratosphere, reflect light away from the planet, and gradually cool the Earth.”
