> I talked–actually, the head of the Bangladesh Institute of Strategic
Studies about this (you didn’t even know that existed, did you?). Well,
there is one, it’s quite serious–run by a General, bright guy. I said,
“have you heard about geoengineering?” and he smiled–seraphically–and he
said, “Mmm. Yes. Your question?”
> And I asked the question, “Do you think that this is something the
Bangladesh government might want to do a little bit, before, let’s say,
the US government or the Chinese government?”
> He said, “yes it has crossed our minds.”–and then he stopped talking.
