- coffeebeqn 3y agoJust remember a year without a summer means a year without most agriculture

- blackoil 3y agoWe can do it over oceans where the impact should be limited.
- psychphysic 3y agoBut we just got rid of acid rain? That was going to eat us and the Colosseum alive back in the day.
- aCoreyJ 3y agoThe salt water comes from the ocean and goes back to the ocean. I'm not sure what to take from the natural comment or if it's serious... Natural things can be profoundly bad for the earth and things that live on it, like poison... Or volcanos... Also salt water, incredibly natural it turns out.
- petre 3y agoSalt water = natural. Salt rain ≄ natural. Salting agriculturaly viable soil is not good at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_salinity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_salinity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_the_earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_the_earth Agreed, being natural is not necessariliy good. Solar flare, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, eathquakes, polar ice cap and glaciers melting are all natural phenomena. Mabye they're good for the planet but not good at all for the puny earthlings, us. Also, "we'll just do it over the oceans where impact should be limited" is risk prone, just like controlled burns.
