    How is it that people are always coming up with zany untested solutions like “dump a fuckton of iron in the sea and see what happens” instead of doing the one thing we actually know how to do – move to clean energy??? It’s not like we don’t have the solution. We just have to actually implement it.

      If we stop all carbon production tomorrow, the earth will still continue heating up and be heated for the next 1000+ years.

      We must take steps to geoengineer or not only will we be uncomfortable, but we’ll lose significant areas to desertification, lose many species to extinction, and lose many people to water and food shortages.
