>A group of Harvard scientists plans to tackle climate change through geoengineering by blocking out the sun. The concept of artificially reflecting sunlight has been around for decades, yet this will be the first real attempt at controlling Earth's temperature through solar engineering.

The project, called Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), will spend $3 million to test their models by launching a steerable balloon in the southwest US 20 kilometers into the stratosphere. Once the balloon is in place, it will release small particles of calcium carbonate. Plans are in place to begin the launch as early as the spring of 2019.

The older models get wasted by the nukes.

The newer ones are adapted and aren't affected by the EMP. Although the extreme heat and pressure should still have destroyed them.

the older models walk through it as well you see them on the bottom, and yes they are making the humans suffer for killing their diplomats. its why they rip them out of the power armor instead of just lasering them, and why they send the older models first as bait to demoralize them when the new ones come out. its also why they are insectoid and aquatic looking. they started looking like humans and humanity rejected them, so they formed a new society with an insectoid slant and held a fat grudge.

Machines can create better machines than humans because they don't have the basic malfunctions humans have, their learning abilities and memorization is perfect and can work 24/7, no sleep, no holidays, no medical leave, a machine that malfunctions can be instantly replaced by a new one, the existence of B166ER was a snowball going down a neverending mountain, a machine capable of passing the turing test would mean the inevitable "replacement" of humanity in just a few years.

No. The planet is pretty big and even after accidentally a whole mars sized planetoid the planet is still around.
If you mean could we destroy all life on earth the answer is emphatically No since the are all kinds of inaccessible isolated biomes that would never even notice. Like that cave in eastern europe recently discovered that had been cut off from the world for millions of years that doesn't even have trace radiation from Chernobyl on it.
We could proper fuck life on earth for humanity though, and we are.
