We’ve been engineering the sky for over 200 years by injecting huge amounts of CO2 and other GHG into the atmosphere, and we’ve continued to do so even after generations of warnings from scientists.
We should continue to ignore them.
Sequestration only, no more injection.
Intentional pollution, what could go wrong? Anything besides cutting emissions, am I right? Orbital mirrors next?
All of this instead of building renewable energy and low carbon transportation
One can easily imagine the day that humanity realizes it has so utterly failed to stop the relentless and insane extraction and burning of fossil fuels, that in order to survive, in order to keep this ecocidal, genocidal culture going so that the rich and powerful can maintain their positions of power for just a little while longer, someone somewhere decides to spray reflective chemicals into the stratosphere. Will you or I or anyone who is not rich and powerful have a say in that decision? It is highly unlikely. https://dgrnewsservice.org/?s=geo-engineering
The atmosphere is constantly moving. Wherever they “inject” it is not going to stay where it “needs” to be.
Even if they try to predict, it could easily end up a catastrophe, permanently ruining ecosystems if they accumulate in the wrong areas.

This is just so Icarusly stupid, it’s maddening.
