Here's a better solution than glass bubbles or whatever geo-engineering stunt people come up with: how about we adjust our culture and attitude to value the biosphere instead of feeding it into a meatgrinder; to encourage companies to make things that last instead of making things that break and need to be thrown away; to look at our energy use and just stop using so much of it.
How about that?

- Freire_Herval 4y agoYeah I'll give you 10 million if you can convince one of your friends to stop driving gas cars to save the environment. If you cant do that how can you do it for the world? Idealistic pipe dream solutions won't happen. We have to mitigate our oil addiction with stop gap unideal solutions.
- SkyPuncher 4y agoThat’s easy, I’ll split your $10 large with my friend.
- MrVandemar 4y agoWhy "gas" cars? Why not electric cars? The electricity comes from somewhere, eg: coal, natural gas. Even with solar there are enormous environmental impacts from the manufacture and distribution of solar panels, batteries, etc.
- Freire_Herval 4y agoOk I'll give you another million if you can convince one of your friends to stop driving electric cars too.
