Inventor in Baja is testing a plan to cool the Earth
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoFolks are weird. Expressing opposition to trying to change the atmosphere with science for the better, while insisting it's ok to change the atmosphere randomly with crap coming out of every factory and vehicle everywhere and destroying it for everybody. Has got to be some world record for cognitive dissonance.

- lifekaizen 4y agoI read the recent National Academies paper[1], and basically they say solar engineering is credible, high altitude sulfur is the only one of three ways that is known to be effective, and they want $100M over 5 yrs to study it. Basically, Luke is going to do that in 1 yr with $1M; they make a number of assumptions that I think do not help them (only considering airplane dispersal, for example). And their work on community building and further research would be helpful, but we just don't have 5 years to wait to begin to start on the problem.
