RE: Geoengineering In The Wake Of The Storm
Thank you Luke. I'm really glad you enjoyed this post.
I respect the approach you've taken to be factual and keep your assumptions to a minimum.
I really did and I try to keep my assumptions to a minimum plus I try to always be careful to separate the facts speculation.
One thing maybe I should have mentioned is that no matter what geoengineering is going on or not going on, the Sun's is always the main input in the climate energy balance by many magnitude.
Geoengineering can only try to indirectly increase or decrease the influence the Sun has.
As advocate for decentralization I think we both can agree it would be preferable if the decision to use those kind of large geoengineering programs could be taken in a more decentralized and public way and would be more honestly and thoroughly discussed that it usually is.
Yes, but there are also some misconceptions about the sun's role (it's number two on this list of top climate change myths, for example). I've spent many hours on that site and suggest anyone else who wants to be taken seriously in the climate change debate do the same. It's well researched information.
And yes, I completely agree these things should be discussed honestly and openly. The assumption that people are too stupid to understand so we have to grow them like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and feed them shit) is really frustrating.
Climate science is so complex.
Very well said.
Indeed it is. So is computer science, ecommerce, and cyber security. Funny enough, very few people offer up their opinions to me on what I know about my field of expertise for the last two decades.
And yet... when it comes to climate science, so many people have a strong opinion. Isn't that odd? Shouldn't the experts be given some benefit of the doubt, especially with light of what Exxon Mobile has been exposed with communicating internally verses what they communicated publicly regarding the climate science they funded?
Any way, not to derail the discussion too much... more accurate information is the key. Shine the light on reality and avoid false narratives. So important.
Thanks for being part of the solution instead of the problem. :)
