More and more climate scientists are supporting experiments to cool Earth by altering the stratosphere or the ocean

      But to experiment with a system we still don’t understand all that well?

      Oh yea, that’s a great idea.

        You’re right, but let’s not forget we’ve already “geoengineered” numerous times. Various dam projects, islands creation, connecting waterways that didn’t previously connect… And we made plenty of mistakes then. I have even less faith in this. We will probably hyper focus on what humans need vs what the planet needs and target some metric that only after we achieve it, realize it’s terribly wrong.

        It seems my feed agrees with you, with this poetic juxtaposition.

        (And I agree with you, too.)

      This is a ridiculous assumption. We have a preponderance of choice.
