The book “Termination Shock” covered the topic of aerosols in the stratosphere to reduce temperature while we work on actually improving the climate. The book itself is a decent read, but the science behind the premise is surprisingly well researched and understood. https://www.wired.com/2008/06/ff-geoengineering/ https://www.wired.com/2008/06/ff-geoengineering/ One of the unspoken critiques in the book is that “climate activists” will shun good solutions in favor of a perfect solution, even if the perfect solution is impossible to achieve. Reading the comments here it seems this particular bit of fiction is already playing out in reality. Can we… organize the governments of the entire world to work toward a singular goal? A goal that will cost a hundred trillion dollars? A goal that we’ve been trying to achieve for decades with virtually zero success? Or… spend $10B per year on geoengineering. We’re approaching the supposed runaway climate temperature. Shall we act now and do what we can while we wait for technology to advance? Or shall we doom humanity to an uncertain future by refusing to adopt trivially cheap mitigation options?
