I mean, they might be against it for the wrong reasons, but it would be better if we tried to fix the climate without aerosol…

Agreed geoengineering is bad science/engineering IMO. You can’t know what the long term effects would be until after its been deployed. The safest bet would be to just ditch fossil fuels but that’s not as sexy.

When the media starts over focusing on something odd, it’s because billionaires have an agenda
