AMSAT is making a proposal at the upcoming “United Nations Climate Change Conference on Global Warming” for the launch of 500,000 Low Earth Orbit Satellites (LEOs). The proposal will provide unprecedented communications capabilities for ham radio operators while also solving global warming (also known as “Climate Change” for those who remember when Canada used to be a cold country). Hams have been launching LEOs for many years, but never on the scale of companies like StarLink, who have around 5,000 LEOs providing worldwide internet service. But now AMSAT proposes a bold new vision: launching 500,000 satellites that will provide not only a reliable emergency communications network, but will also block enough sunlight to reduce the Earth’s temperature back to the pre-climate change conditions. “The plan is genius,” said Professor H. D. Mellon, a noted climate change expert. “Finally someone has realized the real source of global warming is the Sun. It must be blocked. I don’t know why we never thought of this before!” Dubbed “sunglasses for the planet” the first 100,000 satellites will be launched early in the new year to provide the first level of protection in time for summer. The remaining sunlight that gets through will be reflected back to space, where it belongs, by the metal 10 GHz antennas used by hams on the ground. The Climate Change Conference is expected to approve the proposal at next week’s session in Hawaii, once all delegates have arrived by jet aircraft. -Reporting from live from Hawaii, Adrian VE7NZ/KH6.
