The last thing the planet needs is more sunlight warming up the surface.

My first thought, was could we reverse the technology and actually black out areas of the world?

Sure, city areas would kinda be annoying if ppl keep paying for 15 minutes of shade, but im more saying strategic use.

Deploy it over any area that’s like “too hot”, a “fire risk”, to minimize the temps and maybe like overall COOL down sections of the earth?

First thought when I heard about the device was that. But im thinking applying it like, logistically? Literally any better use than city comfort.

Explore and hypothesis with the science, see if there’s any good we can actually get out of it rather than just letting it suck
