    I’m not saying it’s a great solution. I’m saying that we may not have many other options, especially since we’re still not stopping with CO2 output. If anything, CO2 output is getting bigger and bigger because apparently humanity is suicidal and the people that can stop it don’t give a shit.

    Yeah, once we have the vast VAST majority of energy generation through renewables and nuclear, then we can finally look into Carbon capture but that will cost a shit load of energy and decades, if not centuries to complete, and starting right now is stupid because we still have too much energy burning from fossil fuels

    In the meantime, the high temperatures are hammering ecosystems, likely worse than acid rain would…

    I’m calling it the worst of the options we may have.

      I think the risks are too high though so for me they are not options. If I saw something that seemed doable. Like many add crap to the air would have planes burning fuel to fly around dispersing it. The one im pretty cool with is a solar shade. Theoretically its one space mission and its easy to reverse if we find issue with it.
