The proposed solution in the article would not be pleasant for Earth.
Also as someone who has seen firsthand the failed attempts at bioengineering a continent, I'm utterly terrified of what geoengineering could do to a planet.
Humans are not good at foresight or the law of unintended consequences.
- ofrzeta 4y ago> the failed attempts at bioengineering a continent what is that?
- Grimburger 4y agoAustralia has a short but storied history of trying to modify it's own environment to be more "old world". Cane toads are probably the most famous case but there's a few dozen other animals that simply can't be taken away now. Rabbits, deers, camels, wild horses destroying native habitats, we've got it all mate :) There's honestly not enough talented hunters on Earth to legally eradicate them all as is the current government directive.
- immmmmm 4y agowe are already in fact: sulfur aerosols from ships is a quite huge negative radiative forcing. sulfur reduction technologies thus lead to an effective warming on top of the rest.
