what could possibly go wrong? Let's put iron chloride where it doesn't belong, outside of our control. Haven't we done enough harm yet?

- rootusrootus 4y agoSeems like we've come far enough to understand that doing nothing and conserving our way out of this problem isn't viable. The time for engineering is upon us.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoyou could say the same about anything. Installing solar or wind power isn't natural part of the environment, and "something" could go wrong, better not do that either.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoI think that falls within his qualifier as “under our control”… and also previously tested. I have no dog in the fight, but be honest about what the argument really is.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI guess I don't understand the distinction. Why one is out of our control? Certainly we could stop injecting extra iron into the atmosphere just as easily and dismantling a solar plant. It seems like a lot of people conflate "out of control" with "I don't understand it".
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoOk, releasing the iron compound into the sky we find causes immeasurable amounts of suffering. Go up there and get it back. You know exactly what the topic is an you are pretending not to - for some reason.
- jxramos 4y agoit's interesting folks have interpreted this as a blocking call to effectively do nothing in the face of such uncertainty. To me it was an invitation to begin to engage in second order thinking.
