    Geoemgineering needs to be discredited so people dont buy it as an alternative to everything else, but a supplimental.

      And that’s been the statement people make every time for the last 15 years. But at a certain point there is only people that accept it and people who will never do so until they die.

      Small scale tests have to be done slowly over time, and it’s best to do that now at the very least so we have a good grasp of what won’t work at scale so we didn’t chase means that are less practical.

      But the real point is that very few people commenting actually read the article. This was about marine cloud brightening, where they’re only making clouds slightly brighter. It’s the least offensive option possible that is technically a thing that everybody likes more anyway. People act like mr burns blocking the sun.
