Naive article that forgets to mention "ocean acidification". At some point, not so far off, the oceans become too acidic for krill to form their exoskeletons.

Naive article that forgets to mention "ocean acidification".
At some point, not so far off, the oceans become too acidic for krill to form their exoskeletons. Once that happens the ocean food chain is done.
- curtis 10y agoNo, the article doesn't mention ocean acidification. Yes, that's a big deal. I'm personally concerned that it's much more dangerous than sea level rise. However, the article does acknowledge that there are big limits to what stratospheric sulfur injection can do: Stratospheric sulfur dioxide injection is not a panacea. But what it can do is buy us time. ... It can buy us time to deploy large scale climate engineering projects that do remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere... I didn't discuss other climate engineering proposals because I was trying to keep the post short.
- codecamper 10y agoThe point is that climate engineering should be revealed by the scientists only after the mathematically challenged, climate change naysayers are literally defecating in their pants watching a tsunami wave washing towards New York city. Otherwise, they'll just start doing that & continue burning the coal.
