Who would attack who? Let’s say we are putting calcium carbonate into the upper arctic atmosphere to stop Greenland melt.
Who attacks?
- lazide 1y agoThese changes (very likely) cause major changes in precipitation. So whoever all the sudden gets a drought and famine.
- dr_dshiv 1y agoAren’t we facing major changes in precipitation (due to global warming) and by preventing global warming, having fewer changes? TBH, I don't understand anti geoengineering logic…
- lazide 1y agoSure, but those ‘just happen’. If you start intentionally changing things, that next famine (or set of floods) has your name explicitly on it. At some point countries will just start doing it out of desperation, but folks are rightly nervous to be the first.
- dmwilcox 1y agoMaybe not attacks but... "Congratulations you've won 100M+ climate refugees!"
