Hundreds of documents show how researchers failed to notify officials in California about a test of technology to block the sun’s rays — while they planned a much huger sequel.
What I’m saying is its ridiculous to be overly scared of potential solutions, or parts thereof. Too scared to even allow the testing is contemptably too scared for survival, and as malicious to the rest of us as those billionaires who want most of us to die.
A curious term. We knew what we had to do a long time ago, but didn’t.
Now that we’re on a likely terminal path, we’re suddenly willing to try unknown, unproven radical treatments and the only comfort we have is that without such radical interventions we’re already dead, so there is very little left to lose.
Edit: I’m not so much against SRM as I am disapointed we didn’t do the right things when we could have.

Who;s that “we”? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
Nobody asked me, or any of us. It’s just another top-down phony “solution” pushed by the fossll-fuel industry to deflect attention from stopping greenhouse pollution at its source.
Funny thing about an adrenaline rush, is sometimes it increases your co-ordination, strength, and decision-making skills. Not everyone panics and does their best to impede anyone trying to actually triage and fix the situation.
Mean-while, these people are scientists, trying to execute a, frankly, small-scale expiriment to confirm what we already know from an accidental, world-spanning expiriment that was already done over decades. They are trying to do so in a way that, at worst, will do no harm.
… but no, you’re right, nimby-ism will save us all.
Way to miss the sarcasm. I’ll take just about anything between the billionaire’s goal of killing not-quite-everyone(which we keep telling them will result in their deaths too, because they are idiots, demonstrating their idiocy by wanting this), and saving everyone.
OBVIOUSLY, I don’t expect saving everyone to be an option, but trying is better than the doomer option of saving no-one. Mind you, we’re long past the point where many endangered plants and animals could be saved without our help, just in case you wanna play the “but we deserve to die” card.
Agreeing we deserve to die doesn’t mean we are allowed to just give up and take down even more entire eco-systems with us.

Well, I feel better now don’t you?

Well no. It’s actually a desperate hail mary. Everything is an excuse to keep oil going, but SRM is legitimate science. Just reckless as fuck.

Save us all? Now who is delusional.
