The solution to global warming, then, is clearly to just set up a massive ring of fans all pointed in the same direction in a ring around the North Pole, to keep the jet stream going

Not the worst geoengineering idea.

Not a good idea, but I've heard worse

Isn't that literally just a thinly veiled Futurama reference? Like, there was an episode where planet Express was sent out to fetch ice from Haley's comet to dump in the ocean to combat global warming which fails and they end up just pushing the earth farther away from the sun to cool things down?

WIND TURBINES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

We should point those fans at the wind turbines so we can at least gather the power from fans! Why waste it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Finally a solution! Now what to do about the turbines murdering whales?

I am in love with the elegance of this idea that would not work even a little bit. Occam, eat your heart out.
