We cannot even reliably forecast the weather one week in the future, and you are advocating climate engineering on a global scale? Forgive me for being skeptical. I'm not aware of any so-called geo-engineering effort that has been successful other than those whose aim was strictly to undo whatever it is we did to fuck things up in the first place. There is no fourth option. It's simply delusional.

It's worth repeating that weather and climate are two very different beasts.

> We cannot even reliably forecast the weather one week in the future, and you are advocating climate engineering on a global scale? Weather is not climate. I don't think we should act immediately. Atmospheric and oceanic engineering could take decades - maybe even a hundred years - to research, test, and convince the world of. I'm talking about multi-generation engineering projects.
