Sorry, out of the loop, what's the deal with Alberta?


I meant Ottawa (cold place, somewhere up there waves hand) - basically just any capital of any of G20/50/100/192

Doing something like Geo-Engineering may be an important and vital stop-gap to mitigate the worst effects of climate chnage. But it is also dramatic and potentially causes other side effects from crop failures to god knows what.

So when things get so bad that humanity says "yeah let's block out the sun for a bit" we really really want to have studied it hard and have as many countries in the world to have signed up to pieces of paper that say "we tried this crazy thing with our best scientists and it seemed ok, so we trust that it's not a deliberate way to F%%k us over"

The UN might have better wording.


Ok, I thought there was something specific to Alberta wrt to climate change. Thanks for clarifying!


Anything Alberta does is a provocation?
