It's scary how little you think about the unintended consequences of messing with a complex system like that.

This truly is horrible reductionism ala "it will be fine, NOTHING will go wrong, TRUST me".



It’s scary how many people think we have a way out of global warming that doesn’t involve a scheme like this. We’re perpetually 30 years away from carbon neutrality which is actually comically far from reversing or even slowing runaway warming.

Your reaction is why I mentioned that I will patiently wait for others to give up on this absurd idea of saving the planet with renewables. We need more time. Geoengineering is the only way to buy us that time.

Cheers to waiting for more to come to this realization. Let’s talk again in 2030.


It's pure hubris and ego. If these kinds of people ever do gain the power they crave, that will destroy us more surely than any climate issue.
