The problem is, I can look at the risks of something like this, or olivine beaches with Project Vesta [0], or sulfur dioxide in the upper atmosphere - and the worst cases there are still incomparable to the expected case for climate change. Like, the "I don't know how you would do this deliberately"-tier worst case for Project Vesta would be killing all sea life within 100km of the relevant islands, and that would suck! But with ocean acidification, that's going to happen anyways, and not just around those islands. And that sort of analysis makes me think that either 1. the alternate proposals won't work (at all, which seems unlikely) 2. the expected case for climate change isn't actually as bad as people are saying it is or 3. people don't actually care about climate change as much as they care about using climate change to push their own agendas Personally, I lean towards #3. But that still doesn't make me very happy with climate activists. 0: https://projectvesta.org/ https://projectvesta.org/
