infernal machines posted:i also feel like reducing the amount of sunlight to hit the earth by enough to materially affect global warming is one of those things that's guaranteed to have unforeseen consequences surely, but the amount you need to reflect to have a significant effect isn't *that* great, so the unintended consequences will probably be more unforeseen than the lists in this thread. we'll almost surely find out at any rate, as far as i know injecting sulfate aerosols in the stratosphere is the idea closest to a bit of geoengineering which could practically be carried out (mostly in that it is very cheap, mimics a natural process, and uses no sci-fi tech), and i doubt we'll manage any actually good solutions before true desperation sets in. there's some research trying to figure out the dynamics of such ideas at any rate; https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/keutschgroup/scopex . afaik the numbers are such that the pollution of the aerosols themselves would be significant but still outsized by other pollution sources, so that's a start.

why contain it? let it spill over into the schools and churches. let the bodies pile up in the streets. in the end, they'll beg us to save them.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:surely, but the amount you need to reflect to have a significant effect isn't *that* great, so the unintended consequences will probably be more unforeseen than the lists in this thread. most recent research indicates that sulfate aerosols would likely massively worsen the monsoon season for south east asia, massive flooding beyond even what regular climate change would bring but the other fun part of a sulfate aerosol program is it could be done unilaterally...so europe or the usa could just decide gently caress you china and india and do it anyway

Trabisnikof posted:most recent research indicates that sulfate aerosols would likely massively worsen the monsoon season for south east asia, massive flooding beyond even what regular climate change would bring by a lot of estimates an aerosol program would in fact be cheap enough that very small nations, corporations, and even some individuals, could in principle fund a pretty significant one. which is why i am quite sure that this will not remain hypothetical for our lifetimes unless things go a lot better than expected. i don't trust the models all that far when applied to events drastically outside what they are based on though, so hopefully the consequences will at least be more just than that (ideally also not too horrible in general, but at least hitting those deserving is what one might have to settle for).

well why not posted:lol I’ve seen the same idea on reddit. build a bunch of mirror satellites and have them chill at a Lagrange point. somehow a better idea than taxing the rich apparently launch enough rich people in to orbit to blot out the needed portion of sunlight
