How is it not the same people? What type of geoengineering are you referring to?
Solar geoengineering seems like the most promising. It’s largely being studied by climatologists. The people who are putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are industrialists.
Which is being pushed by Bill Gates and co., which fuck him by the way.
So because one particular person you don’t like is involved, screw the science? Let the world burn rather than have it be saved with the involvement of people you don’t like? Wonderful attitude.
Bill Gates is a major philanthropist, BTW. Not sure why you pick his name out as specifically hateworthy.
Also, describing solar geoengineering as “blotting out the sun” suggests you’re not really familiar with how this stuff actually works. So when you say you don’t think any of the proposals will help anything that doesn’t give much weight to your opinion.
You want to give me a brief rundown of how it works then? Cause all I’ve ever heard is using particulates flown into the atmosphere or using some form of cloud seeding to reduce solar load. The particulate one got tested in Turkey maybe? India? I forget, but the only thing I ever heard from that was it pissed off nearby nations and would require constantly dumping more particulates into the atmosphere. Purposely altering cloud formation as the other alternative I’ve heard of seems foolish. I’m not in favor, but I’d love to hear more details of what you think would work.
No, I don’t want you to give me a rundown. I read the works of those climatologists to find out about that stuff, they’re professionals who understand what they’re talking about.
Ok, then give me a rundown. Or name a study or author whose work you like. I am willing to be sold on the idea, because apparently my description is inaccurate.
It’s a very broad field. You could start with the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_modification, it’s got links to specific sub-articles about the various types of approaches as well as sections on who’s working on this stuff (and who’s opposing it).
Cool, thanks. Yeah, after going through that I still think that’s a dead end with far more potential to do damage than to actually help, and stand by my statement that it is being pushed as a delay by the ultra rich, much like like superloop was to the california high speed rail or the vegas edition w the underground teslas.
