  • @dstechcafe Solar cycles are not destructive. NO idea where you got THAT from. They're just a cycle which has happened millions of times, and it hasn't killed everything yet.

  • If I can put your country into permanent shade... I have some control over you right? Think about that.

  • why they are planning to put sun shaders?

    well 2012-2013 is most destructive solar maximum which coinsidentally at the same time, magnetic field of the earth weakens due to shifting...then BOOM, we're fried.

  • Use mighty power of nature

    In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,

    huge deserts, huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.

    Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,

    desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia

    World population is growing rapidly and we need more energy, food, land and water.

  • ITS ALUMINIUM NOT ALUMINUM

  • @CreationPhotography

    How the hell would you know?

  • I know many worms who go Global worming at the weekends.

  • I would so not want to be here when that thing doesnt jump high enough and 20 million tons of aluminum slams into the surface.

  • I didn't see the part where he explained why he's developing new lenses to bend the sunlight. Why not just use currently available opaque materials to block the sunlight.

    Wouldn't that me less costly and more efficient at the same time?

    Does anyone know?
