I watched this last night, and have been thinking on the subject of iron fertilization, there's good reason to think that large swathes of the ocean are limited in phytoplankton population due to iron deficiencies. When there are so many people with tech fortunes that kind of disdain government, I'm surprised no one has spent the 30k+legal fees to do some free-agent geo engineering. Sure it's a bit reckless, but wasn't the time for contemplative measured responses to this train-wreck a decade ago?

- rojobuffalo 10y agoGeo-engineering is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how you balance projects like that with the push to cap bad behavior. Maybe we need both. It's hard to garner the proper emotional response to the climate trajectory we are on. Maybe a geo-engineering project would register the appropriate level of alarm that we seem to be missing.
