Elon Musk has suggested using AI-controlled satellites to adjust how much sunlight reaches Earth, a concept known as solar geoengineering. While no such system exists, the idea is controversial, raising questions about control, global impacts, and potential risks to weather, ecosystems, and political power. Supporters see it as a possible climate solution, but critics warn of unpredictable consequences. The debate highlights that Earth's climate is complex and not easily managed by technology, reminding us that the ability to alter the planet doesn’t mean we’re prepared for the consequences.
