    For the last 15 months you have cried doom ITT from bullshit made up. Why don't you focus on the real threat. The new world goons who have you slurping up their bullshit distraction from the real danger. Namely them...
  2. It's much easier to parrot the lies than actually do the required research yourself and then do something about it. It's all about easy.

    Link?
  4. They'd rather you take their little hand and walk them through it, rather than actually have to do their own research.

    Part of it is nature that cycles on its own. however, there doesn't seem to be a normal pattern of nature having droughts even going decades-long vs wet years. often Volcanos erupting on larger volcanoes could lead to a long winter rather than a massive increase in human population growth (which is just now slowing down) and could feel more like an irreversible event. but I doubt the planet earth is permanently affected by this and if suddenly we have the largest volcanoes all going off at once (which has happened in the past time) we should shift into decades of a "nuclear winter" like effect. ending our drought years and my guess is polar icecaps refreezing will receed the water content back to the poles.

    I noticed things getting warmer this century however some of this may have been caused by cloud seeding causing wind currents to change. but if you stop then the currents will just shift back to normal.

    why not just blow it up

    Think that's feasible?

    about as feasible as dimming it

    have you seen Sunshine? one of my favourite movies

    Yeah, I don't think dimming the sun is a good idea.

    I haven't seen that one, no. What do you like about it?

    What if the sun was dimmable and pulsed to the best of your music

    story's about a second mission to send a 'bomb' to restart the sun as it's begun to burn out and the first mission stopped responding

    science isn't magical, cinematography and music are very good, story takes a grim turn

    i cant start watching because the premis of the movie itself is too retarded.

    once the main sequence is over it will take more energy to to nuclearly ignite then sun than our solar system has available.

    canonically it's supposed to be some sort of quantum effect that re-stabilises the burn rate or something, not just a nuclear bomb, it's been ages since I bothered looking it up, but it's not really all that important anyway

    It isn't important anyway.

    Multiple Power Substations in North Carolina attacked, knocking out power

    “As utility companies began responding to the different substations, evidence was discovered that indicated that intentional vandalism had occurred at multiple sites,” the sheriff’s office said.

    it is to me.

    science fiction has to be based at least on some sound scientific premises.

    you cant have a science fiction movie and then make it into a story about a haunted house and spirits.

    just doesnt work that way.
