while one thing doing a big difference is unlikely, i do believe we could geo-engineer our way out of this, especially if we put AI agents at the task - the problem is can we get the right power brokers to stop pushing it off until tomorrow and fix it today?
We could plant billions of trees around utah and colorado and reroute pacific ocean water via pipeline to existing and new man-made lakes in these areas, the sea water evaporating giving rise to more rain and ending some of the draught issues for one...
Another idea is A nation-wide network of pipes where every city is a part of a grid that sends water where it needs to be when it needs to be there... less waist, less struggles for places without needed water.. etc...
A big space shield could do wonders at least for cooling us down some... perhaps it could double as some sort of energy system that beams down energy in the form of a laser or something, I think i read that somewhere..
Lots of different ways to capture co2/methane.. I mean couldn't factories just run exhause pipes into very deep holes in the ground instead of releasing into the air? Or buy filters to put on every smoke stack..
I'm no scientist, but i think there's a million other ideas out there to geoengineer thigns.....we just need to act...and nobody wants to do that... we waste so much human energy on mundane tasks -- like looking for food because we were born poor, that if we just eliminate poverty and put all the would be homeless on the path towards being scientists, we could have an entire new civ in 20 years..maybe without climate change being such a big deal.
We have the ability to do amazing things, we've done them before, we just lack the global unity and will to even try.
