How many Bond villain schemes can climate alarmists come up with? Apparently one every month or so. The latest scheme to “save the planet” and help make solar installations viable at night is to put giant mirrors in space to reflect sunlight down on earth during the night. And the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, amazingly, just gave that idea the go-ahead.

On Episode 207 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about that Crazy Climate News of the Week. We will also cover the huge conflict of interest Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has for an important upcoming climate case, the “climate score scam” that harms the value of your home, and will the political success of socialists in the United States put the Green New Deal back on the table?

Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Participate in the show by leaving your comments and questions in the chat.

Another stupid government program that is a waste of taxpayers’ money better add more oil to the printing presses as Fiat money is the favorite government currency.

According to the first article on this subject, this is a private venture.

This “private” venture has already received taxpayer monies via the award it has received under the US government SBIR program.

A follow-up question to one that our esteemed host answered in Q&A, about Hunga Tonga Water vapour.

Yes, most of the HT WV in the troposphere will have now precipitated out.

The question is, how much of the excess WV put into the stratosphere by the HT eruption is still there.?

And what effect might it have?

The highest value use of space mirrors will be to throw some sunlight onto party locations in northern cities for some much needed relief from winter darkness. Just don’t focus too tightly and crisperize anybody.

For Susies 7th birthday she wants pizza, a bounce house and 22 hours of uninterrupted backyard sunlight?
