I actually wonder if a time might come where global cooling (too quickly) could become an issue. I know that sounds crazy today but suppose we get very good at reducing emissions and CO2, maybe things will require time to adapt too a cooler world.
- saalweachter 6y agoEh, you can worry about global cooling as a hypothetical outcome -- for instance, there is a "snowball Earth" feedback loop with the albedo of ice sheets -- but from a geoengineering perspective releasing CO2 into the atmosphere isn't that hard, and we've still got more than half of the known oil in the world left.
- yifanl 6y agoWe have a very well known set of processes to fix the issue of too few emissions, so I'd doubt that'd ever be a concern.
- bamboozled 6y agoNo, I'm just saying by the time emissions start coming back down, we might need to becareful how fast that happens from an ecological standpoint.
