Considering that the U.S. is coming apart at the seams, twisted and creased by ceaseless corruption and indifference (if not contempt) for the working class, the current "administration" (ahem) now wants to shoot a chemical substance into the sky to shield the sun, thus curbing "global warming." WTF?!
It's another, muckety-muck diversion to sidestep existent problems, but for crying out loud, can't these cretins at least give credit where it's due? This shield-the-sun thing is stolen from Russell Mulcahy's Highlander 2, subtitled "The Quickening" and later, with its outer-space connection removed, "The Renegade Version." It doesn't matter how one labels it, Highlander 2 shows a world besmirched by an audacious, ozone-layer gimmick (and bureaucratic lies to keep it in place for the almighty dollar), as it plays out in the once-distant year of 2024.
This crazy concept won't become a reality, of course (even if the Megaminds do pretend it's genuine). Like other climate cons (and their elusive "remedies"), the know-it-alls will throw heaps of money at it. The rich shysters will get all the richer off the scam (through their corporate liaisons, et al), and those who fight the good fight will just have to fight all the harder to put food on the table and gas in the car.
It's interesting that Highlander 2, a movie that entails motifs from such don't-trust-The Man fables as Total Recall, Blade Runner and Logan's Run, makes it a point to unveil (gasp!) government deceit.
Hmmm ... On that "Deep Throat" note, this latest, Emperor's New Clothes ruse (and the in-the-tank media that shovels it) is in ideal sync with the movie it dares not name. Now, ain't that further par for the preferential course?
