Billionaire weirdos in Silicon Valley are plotting to block out the sun to cool the planet.

Bill Gates , Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz , VC execs Matt Cohler and Chris Sacca , and Bay area billionaire Rachel Pritzker are all investing in companies that seek to block the sun.

A startup called Make Sunsets is already out there doing it.

Highlander II sucks. Itâs awful that years of dragging our feet on climate change have created the conditions where some of its ludicrous plot points may become reality.

In the end, Connor MacLeod destroys the shield and gives the world back the sky. In the movie, he saves us but dooms the world to darkness, heat, and humidity.
