Hypothetically my initial point stands: reducing fossil fuel consumption by replacing it with something else, and artificially manipulating the weather, are in completely different ballparks regarding danger.
What are you trying to argue about?
- junofan 3y agoI dunno, weather modification has been going on since at least the 80s and it’s pretty unnoticeable. I don’t see how we can peacefully stop China and Africa from burning coal, so I’m more interested in unilateral, noncoercive solutions.
- Timon3 3y agoReally? How have we been manipulating the weather to reduce climate change since the 80s?
- junofan 3y agoIt’s not uncommon in places with droughts.
- Timon3 3y agoIn which places with droughts have we used weather manipulation to reduce climate change? I'm not talking about increasing rainfall, I'm talking about reducing climate change. Please share a specific example where we've done so since the 80s.
