Ed Millband

Can someone explain why Ed Millaband wants to spend £50 million on dimming the sun , when he wants to put solar panels everywhere, you need the sun for the panels to work properly. This Caborn capture more millions or billions. Yet with the sky interview he got figures wrong.He dosent know what he is doing. I'm all for saving the planet but we need gas , coal for the meantime until proper things are in place. This GB energy has one man who is paying thousands too, no other employees based in London ,not Scotland as its made out.

From what I've read, he's not talking about dimming the sun as such, it's more to do with reflecting rays back away from the earth in an attempt to slow down the global warming we're seeing right now. This would buy more time to decarbonise the planet.

Agreed @MW123 that's why I said it would buy us more time for decarbonisation. They've stated this isnt a solution, but ideas to help us slow things down whilst the root causes are tackled.
It's dangerous I totally agree, which is why they're only talking about tests, but I think a lot of the issues are the news outlets that are reporting on this, they're not exactly great for neutral, non clickbaity style articles. 😆

The damage extra sea salt seeded into clouds could do to crops doesn't bare thinking about though. Yikes!

Because he really needs this money and he has already come up with a trick on how to get it.
