Heh, yeah. Same as the backlash to proposals for geoengineering our planet’s temperature and atmospheric composition. The way I see it, if we expect to inhabit this place for the next several hundred thousand years, we’ll either 100% have to have that ability, or instead be satisfied riding our Hobbyhorse of Environmental Virtuousness right into extinction or evacuation as whatever meager efforts we make are swamped by natural variations. Might as well start doing the science now. Back to earthquakes though. Somewhere in HN there’s a comment on a story about the Cascadia subduction zone suggesting that we publicly select a date some many years in the future on which we’ll get everyone to a safe place, then pop that fault with a bunch of buried nukes. Would make some great TV!
