Or a rogue terraforming project like seeding the ocean with iron or deploying reflective particulates into the atmosphere.

- Roark66 7y agoPerhaps, because anyone capable of launching a project like this is also aware of the terminal stupidity of doing so. Proposing geoengineering when we can't even predict weather for 7 days into future in a reliable way despite having monitoring stations everywhere is akin to hitting a computer with a hammer to fix a software bug. Unfortunately we are affecting a system we do not understand. The only rational choice is to stop affecting it, not desperately try to swing it the other way with no understanding of how it works. The biggest danger of the climate change is that some nation or company gets a bright idea how to fix it and then seriously fucks the climate up. If you think few degrees too warm is bad, consider how bad having a mile thick ice cap all over Europe and North America would be if we manage to swing the system the other way.
