Well, hopefully we have some time to practice first. Because we're the only person in the room and the patient is bleeding out.

- aziaziazi 3y agoYou are the doctor and the patient at the same time. On what body do you want to practice ?
- Roark66 3y agoSo don't do a bloody tripple bypass with a butter knife. Just stop the bleeding. Jeez, this conversation is the best illustration of everything that's wrong with geoengineering ideas. Indeed we have practiced quite a bit. Read on the catastrophe that was geoengineering attempts resulting in what is now happening with the Sea of Azov.
- fredrikholm 3y ago> Just stop the bleeding. Is that enough? AFAIK all paths forward to avoid the worst outcomes includes becoming net negative ASAP. That's stopping the addition of 37,000,000,000 tonnes of CO2 anually. For context, a modern CCS captures some thousands of tonne, which is a comparatively tiny, tiny number. Unless magic happens in the next decade, it appears that geoengineering is something we can't avoid, sans the suffering and death of billions. I'd love to be wrong here.
- aziaziazi 3y ago> geoengineering is something we can't avoid With all its inherent uncertainties geoengineering has many chances to make living conditions even worse. It appears that the best think we can do is to stop doing thinks. I concede magic will be needed to make boomers accept that.
- concordDance 3y ago> Just stop the bleeding Convincing every country in the world that they don't need fossil fuels isn't possible. Blocking some sunlight from reaching the Earth is.
- aziaziazi 3y agoWhy being an absolutist? We don’t need to convince every country. Just the top ones that drive the most consumption/pollution.
- fastball 3y agoBecause the top ones won't be convinced if you don't convince the others. Tragedy of the commons and all that.
- aziaziazi 3y agoIn that vision we never can’t do anything because leaders needs to be leaded by others. People do change their habits, donate, volunteer, make concessions and work hard for the good of society in its whole.
