They want to DIM the sun now?

Just when you thought things couldn't get any more ridiculous…

Now the UK wants to "dim the sun".

(though I hear they don't get much of it over there anyway 🌧).

Seriously though… this is utterly insane.

UK scientists are about to spend £50 MILLION to spray particles into the atmosphere...

Manipulate clouds...

Block the very thing that's been ESSENTIAL to our existence since the dawn of our species.

Let me get this straight…

The sun - which has been shining for 4.6 BILLION years - is suddenly the problem?

Not the industrial revolution...

Not the massive factories pumping pollutants...

Not the electricity and heat generation..

Not the transportation sector...

But… the SUN? 🤡

Honestly, this might be one of the most egregious and dangerous displays of modern hubris I've ever seen…

Here's what they're proposing:

Launching reflective particles into the atmosphere

Using seawater sprays to make clouds brighter

Thinning natural cirrus clouds

All to temporarily "cool the Earth's surface" in a bid to fight global warming.

(Talk about treating the symptom, not the cause 😒)
​
This is what they always do…

Blame NATURE for man-made problems.

"Farting cows" cause climate change (not industrial agriculture or the energy sector).

"Red meat" causes heart disease (not processed foods or seed oils).

And now… the SUN is what's wrong with our planet? 😂😂😂

What’s both ironic and comical to me is even their own scientists admit this scheme could catastrophically disrupt weather patterns, destroy agriculture, and create unknown ecological disasters.

However, what they don't seem concerned about AT ALL is what this means for human health..

Sunlight isn't just "nice to have" -- it's an ESSENTIAL nutrient.

One most people do not get enough of.

In fact, I would contend that light deficiency might be the single biggest nutrient deficiency in modern humans.

And I'm not just talking about Vitamin D (though 40% of Americans can't properly absorb synthetic forms) – it goes MUCH deeper.

What most people don't know is 70% of natural sunlight is INFRARED light – but we spend 90% of our time in infrared-deficient environments.

I call this "mal-illumination" - the light equivalent of malnutrition.

But why does infrared matter so much?

For one, over 90% of your body's melatonin isn't made in your pineal gland at night like we've been told…

It's produced IN YOUR MITOCHONDRIA when infrared light hits them.

That's right -- melatonin isn't just a sleep hormone.

It's your body's master cellular antioxidant that fights oxidative stress throughout your entire body (PMID: 28864909).

Block the sun = block your primary cellular defense system 🚫☀️

And we're just scratching the surface…

Studies show sunlight triggers nitric oxide release (lowering blood pressure), stimulates feel-good beta-endorphins, anchors circadian rhythms, and even changes gut microbiome composition (PMID: 19797169, PMID: 31534436 PMID: 27793218, PMID: 24949966)

I can already hear the dermatologists screaming… "What about SKIN CANCER, Paul!?"​
​
The research is fundamentally flawed!

They study isolated UV wavelengths WITHOUT the infrared light that's ALWAYS present in natural sunlight…

(It’s just like studying pure fructose and declaring fruit as harmful!)
​
Natural sunlight is BALANCED, with high-energy wavelengths always accompanied by protective red and infrared light - which are both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant for skin cells.
​
And studies on outdoor workers who get a little sun everyday paradoxically have a DECREASED risk of melanoma compared with indoors workers (PMID: 15005091).

Bottom line: Gradual exposure to sunlight is protective, NOT harmful.

But if it's not the sun that's causing skin cancer, what is? Here's my hypothesis...

I believe our modern lifestyle creates the perfect storm for skin damage:

We're bombarded with artificial blue light without infrared balance.

Think about it…

We work indoors all week (no infrared, no melanin production)

Then binge on weekend sun (sudden intense exposure)

We eat SEED OILS that make our skin cells vulnerable to oxidation.

This is something the mainstream barely considers…

Your skin is literally a massive collection of cell membranes facing the sun.

And when your diet is predominantly comprised of oils like canola, soybean, sunflower etc. you're loading your skin cell membranes with linoleic acid - a polyunsaturated fat that oxidizes easily under UV exposure.

Think of your skin cells like houses…

Eat seed oils, and you're building the walls of those houses with cheap plastic that melts in the sun…

Eat animal fats, and you're building with brick that stands strong against the elements.

Same sun, totally different outcome.

The research backs this up too:

We know linoleic acid is inflammatory for the skin. And people eating more polyunsaturated fats have a higher risk of skin cancer ( PMID: 2963634).

But instead we slather on toxic sunscreens that disrupt our natural protection mechanisms.

Which brings me to my final criticism of this sunfearing equation…

Mainstream sunscreens are loaded with chemicals like Avobenzone, oxybenzone, octinoxate…

All known HORMONE DISRUPTORS (PMID: 25885102, PMID: 32108942, PMID: 32108942).
​
To make matters worse…

Most of these sunscreens use seed oils as their base!

Look, I’m not saying being in the sun all day is completely benign…

But should you fear it the way “experts” tell you to? Absolutely not!
​
Here's what I do…

I get gradual sun exposure to build my "solar callus" - morning and evening sun to develop melanin protection and get that crucial infrared light.

When I surf midday in Costa Rica, I use a zinc-based sunscreen with tallow (yes, beef fat - your skin loves it… recipe here)

I avoid seed oils like the plague (obviously).

And I spend time outdoors without sunglasses because your eyes NEED full spectrum light too.

So while they spend £50 million trying to block our life-giving star...

I'll be outside living how humans evolved to live.

Because that's what we do when we remember who we are 🏹
