A thought. Bear with me, I might be catching a cold.
When a planetary climate is being intentionally altered in a large scale, it is called terraforming.
But just who benefits from terraforming the Earth to be more hostile to human civilization?
- titanomachy 8y agoSort of, I think "to terraform" usually means "to make more like Earth" though.
- EForEndeavour 8y agoTechnically, the definition of "terraforming" is constantly changing to match Terra's changing climate.
- jnurmine 8y agoYes, indeed. You are correct. A better term would have been "climate engineering". Though I wonder if "venusforming" is also apt, keeping in mind what the results are said to be down the line.

What better way to rid the world of "brown subhumans", than to make the climate kill them in their own countries? https://eand.co/how-capitalism-torched-the-planet-and-left-it-a-smoking-fascist-greenhouse-fe687e99f070?gi=8360d64e072a https://eand.co/how-capitalism-torched-the-planet-and-left-i...
- yesco 8y agoThat's completely ridiculous, there are plenty of far more efficient and less convoluted means of committing genocide.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoBrazil just elected a literal fascist who has promised to clear cut the Amazon rainforest, and to relentlessly persecute "red political opponents". There may be easier ways to genocide, but this one has built-in deniability.
