politics

it's hitler particles

The fact that its even being considered absolutely demands that those who are attempting it fucking die. Beyond the pale doesnt describe the degree of absolute malevolence and hubris.

I WILL GO FULL IF THESE PRICKS FUCK WITH ANIMALS THIS MUCH.

that's sort of a backward upside of it. the island nations who are most affected by warming and sea level rise could cobble together a few million dollars to unilaterally start doing it and then everyone else has a gun to their heads to keep it going.

better for the "west" to have communist revolutions of course but we aren't building those fast enough either.

but you see capital has tried nothing and they're out of ideas

I have found the degree of scientific ignorance/believing strongly in absolute scifi nonsense is pretty astounding. Just this week at work my boss said that one of the moons of Jupiter doesnt reflect any light, another co-worker didnt know what carbon was when me and another co-worker (with a geology degree but he's still kinda bad at non geology stuff) we're explaining what combustion is when out pasta pot boiled dry and she asked why the salt in the water didnt burn. I guarantee most people think string theory is real and that Dyson spheres are practical. Fucking everyone somehow seems to think Mars colonization is anything short of complete fantasy. If it's even possible to engineer a planet we sure as fuck can't, we cant even manage one handed to us with everything good to go. Like, id say it's know fuck all about science but really just by having retained shit i learned in high school im leaps and bounds past most. I don't understand not being curious about literally everything.

yea we all saw the simpsons

incredible emojis

Nah. Nothing will happen. The zionist entity where this research is taking place is full of fascists happy with and dependent on genocide so it's not exactly full of radicals who care about the earth. It's also an incredibly locked down police state. By the time it's ready for production the secrets will be in three places and the only way to stop it will be a full scale war with the US which no one including China will be willing to do unless it's an undisputable fact that this stuff will wipe out half of human life or something else equally serious and most likely it won't be clear exactly what the effects are until some time after deployment has been irrevocably set in motion. The usual propagandists who've downplayed the seriousness of climate change will be deployed to downplay the seriousness of any "side effects" and the same frothing reactionaries who've denied climate change so far will line up to be first in line to say we have to deploy this to save ourselves and to call those against it hypocrites for being against climate change and against their "fix".

Better that than giving up capitalism and using fossil fuels, you will have no sky and no jobs and be happy slave!

GOOD post. Exactly my thoughts. There is no way something like this wouldn't completely mess up an already pressured biosphere.

No to mention, it doesn't solve other, non-heat related problems that are being caused by anthropocentric forces. We still will have too much carbon dioxide in the air, for one which is bad for all sorts of reasons, not just for the ozone.

Also we will just never see a blue sky again

"israel" sending the world to scotland

I like how they phrase it as 'pointed out', as if they named a logical flaw in the argument when all they did was just say it might not happen

Also Snowpiercer

i don't think that statement is very suspect. other projects just want to use chalk dust.

its this avenue of questioning that is terrifying, it doesn't matter if the stuff they put in the atmosphere is perfect--the effects of having anything up there performing this function is apocalyptic in medium-long term

It's okay, 10 years later they'll make an episode about how they were wrong.
