US wants to block the Sun

Oh this may be my favorite piece of news ever....

Instead of working to bring changes to our lifestyle utilizing more environmentally friendly technology, the US government wants the world's scientists to develop technology to block sunlight to halt global warming.
They want to put money into researching techniques such as giant mirrors in space or reflective dust in the atmosphere. The government is lobbying for this "important insurance" to be recommended by a UN report on climate change.

I swear this is not a joke. We are run by complete morons.
