Even if we did somehow get the political will to fund a project of this magnitude, it could never work. The bubbles would get blamed for every single snowstorm, unseasonably cold day, and any other weather that happened after it was put in place.
I don't think it would last a year before it was taken down, regardless of whether or not it did what it was supposed to do or was responsible for any meteorological event.
- tyleo 4y agoI like this take. I think I agree with it, though I wonder if there is a limit. For example, if warming gets bad enough that there are obvious issues causing millions, would it be enough for folks to realize, "the negative consequences are worth it"? I truly don't know.
- ncmncm 4y agoI do. It would make things strictly worse, as CO2 continued on up, poisoning the oceans until its food chain collapses. That has happened before, immediately before massive global extinction events. It would be a mistake not to avoid that.
