Scientists are exploring a controversial plan to dim the sun by injecting reflective particles into the atmosphere to counter “runaway climate change.” The technique, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, aims to reflect sunlight and cool the planet.

The proposal, backed by researchers like Sir David King, former U.K. chief scientific adviser, suggests deploying high-altitude aircraft to release particles that could lower global temperatures. “We need to look at doing something to give us time to get our act together,” King told The Telegraph, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change.

Critics, including environmental groups, warn of unintended consequences, such as disrupted weather patterns or crop failures. The report acknowledges these risks but notes that proponents see it as a temporary measure to buy time for emissions reductions.

The idea, costing billions annually, remains in early stages, with no consensus on implementation.

El Salvador Prez trolls Dem rep’s UNHINGED X rant over “Maryland Father *Gangster”

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele publicly trolled U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., on social media Tuesday, highlighting a 2016 post where Frost wrote, “fuckin wit my gang gon get u spilled.” Bukele, responding with a shrugging emoji, drew attention to the comment as Frost and three Democratic colleagues visited El Salvador to advocate for the release of deported migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 gang member.

Frost, the first Gen Z congressman, joined Reps. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., Maxine Dexter, D-Ore., and Roberto Garcia, D-Calif., to pressure the Trump administration to retrieve Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. Despite DHS confirming Abrego Garcia’s gang ties and domestic abuse allegations, the lawmakers demand his return. Frost later claimed the post quoted a rap song, saying, “Never thought Max P lyrics I tweeted at 19 would get so much attention from MAGA.”

Bukele’s jab underscores tensions over U.S. deportation policies, with El Salvador housing deported gang members under a U.S. agreement. The Democrats’ trip has sparked criticism for prioritizing foreign detainees over domestic issues.

Trump mulls Hungary style “Baby Bonus” of $5000 to reverse population decline

The Trump administration is considering a $5,000 “baby bonus” and other incentives to reverse the declining U.S. birth rate, which hit a historic low in 2023, according to a report from The New York Times.

The proposals aim to address the 2023 birth rate drop to 3,591,328, down from 3,667,758 in 2022. One idea includes a cash bonus for mothers post-delivery, while another reserves 30% of Fulbright scholarships for married individuals or parents. The administration is also exploring educational programs to help women understand their menstrual cycles for better conception timing.

“We need to channel the MAHA spirit and really dive deep into infertility,” said Emma Waters, a Heritage Foundation policy analyst, referencing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again campaign.

Policy experts have met with White House aides, but no final decisions have been confirmed. The push aligns with President Trump’s call for a “baby boom,” though critics argue economic barriers may limit the effectiveness of such measures.

Dwight Schrute RIPS MSNBC for “Cleopatra, queen of denial” over Biden disaster

Rainn Wilson, known for playing Dwight Schrute on “The Office,” pushed back against MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle’s claim that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are primarily responsible for public distrust in media. During an April 17 episode of Wilson’s “Soul Boom” podcast, Ruhle attributed the erosion of trust to Trump’s election and Musk’s influence on X, calling it a “bastion of misinformation.”

Wilson countered, arguing that left-leaning media outlets contributed to the issue by downplaying problems during the Biden administration. “Left-leaning news media organizations were kind of like, ‘La la la la, everything’s fine,’” Wilson said, mimicking their coverage of issues like the economy and immigration. He labeled this approach as “Cleopatra, queen of denial.”

Ruhle defended the media, citing coverage of Biden’s immigration policies, but Wilson maintained that selective reporting fueled public skepticism. The exchange highlighted ongoing debates about media bias and accountability, with Wilson emphasizing that trust must be earned through balanced coverage.
