Invent the goddamn technology. It’s ‘technically feasible.’ We’re actively working to make this thing compoundingly, exponentially worse every day, and doing nothing to stop it, so let’s give it a fucking try here, team. The odds seem to be in our favor on this one.
We… we created them by artificially manipulating the climate.
it's the magic of the free market lol :(
If we could just manipulate the climate however we want, why are we not cooling it down to offset the climate change caused by all our CO2 making bullshit?
Because:
In a separate interview with CNN, David Keith, a geophysicist at the University of Chicago, said that while the study's proof-of-concept is technically possible, “the technology simply doesn’t exist.”
One, assholes in charge say nuh-uh it's not hotter shut up nerd.
Two, randos screech about the potential consequences! of geoengineering as if we're not already doing it with a bazillion tons of CO2 for some fucking grim consequences right about now.
Meanwhile we are in fact just talking about making more clouds. A process we can presumably start and stop at our discretion.
