My only comfort is the knowledge that they're not competent enough to actually succeed.
But what kind of damage are they going to do in the meantime 
I will legitimately become a terrorist
I would totally shoot whoever was going to block the sun
Stardust sold geoengineering to investors. Now it needs to sell it to the public.

Is this the one where they shoot a bunch of glitter into the air and basically recreate the dust cloud that did in the dinosaurs in order to cool down the planet

The mental gymnastics that these people must go through.
"We could use the sun to replace fossil fuels with clean energy."
"Nope, not on the table."
"Ok, you know, we could just blot out the whole fucking sun and keep burning fossil fuels!"
"Fucking genius, tell me more!"
"Yeah, we keep drilling and drilling and when we run out of oil...umm....and the sun is blocked out too....ummm.....you know, we'll just kick that can down the road on that last part. Bill, deploy Operation Sunsceen. Gretchen, call Enron and tell to DRILL BABY!"

Ghouls took over instead of machines, and they are trying to block the sun. Even the real world Matrix is shitty.
Isn’t this the plot of a Simpsons episode
Did NOBODY watch the Matrix?! We already tried that in the future! It didn't work and now the machines harvest humans for energy...
ackshually its about how in the future everybody is going to be trans
This is gonna be great for plant life I'm sure
Is this like a global warming countermeasure or a Dyson sphere kind of thing? Either way we’re like 1000 years away from anything of the sort
The former
Why isn't this in c/slop?
