I'll agree with Hillary that having immigration policies on the books that aren't well enforced does push fascist sympathizers like Hillary Clinton into the arms of their natural political allies, fascists.

Poorly-considered geo-engineering projects to stop climate change, instead of actually changing behaviors, are going to to be the global climate version of Olestra and its anal leakage.

It's from the website of a book series called "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" which are big thick books that contain all sorts of awesome facts and lists and interesting articles about everything you could think of. There's a fuckton of them. It's a work-safe link. And check out the books. You won't be sorry.

It's nothing.
Basic version: Olestra is an artificial fat that tastes like fat but it doesn't get absorbed by the intestine (and thus it doesn't make you fat).
Side effect: it's also effectively a laxative.

Having followed this research for years, no, no one is suggesting doing this as an alternative to mitigation or atmospheric carbon removal, unless they work directly for a fossil fuel company. Neither of the programs at Harvard or Yale are funded by fossil fuels. This article title is of course massively misleading clickbait.

This is envisioned as a supplemental emergency measure, but not doing the research, should stresses become so great, is a greater moral hazard than not. We've left it far too late to have that argument.

Mount Pintuabo in the 80's put about 8 million tons of sulfur in the stratosphere, with the only real adverse affect being slightly reduced perception. Mount Tambora in the 1800's probably put about 3 times that amount, and that was called the year without a summer. The point is that scale and deployment of the aerosol, as well as the type of aerosol used, can maximize the good effects while minimizing the bad. It's not a panacea, temperatures would still be comparably warmer in the Arctic, but still much colder. In addition percipitation rates would be affected, but the irony is that in many places this would be a reversion to the mean. There's a myriad of other things, but I'm writing a lot here.

Aerosol injection models suggest about 400,000 tons yearly to deal with ~a degree of warming. There's also marine cloud brightening, but that's less studied.

We're probably closer to having the ability to do that than what they're suggesting, too.

quote:

Despite the technology being undeveloped and with no existing aircraft suitable for adaptation, the researchers say that "developing a new, purpose-built tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive."
They estimate the total cost of launching a hypothetical system in 15 years' time at around $3.5 billion, with running costs of $2.25 billion a year over a 15-year period.

I feel like "developing a new, purpose-built tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive." may be optimistic seeing as how the capabilities they're talking about include deploying the stuff 12 miles up.

It wouldn't actually be hard to bring the earth back to the Palezoic snowball state, you basically need an 8 fold decrease of radiative forcing, that's the energy absorbed as opposed to reflected back to space, to do it.

That said, it would take an insane amount of stratospheric aerosol injection to do that. So no, even if we do this, it wouldn't be at the scale necessary to pull a Snowpiercer.

I'm particularly hopeful the company this article briefly mentions, C2CNT, works out. Replacing steel and aluminum with cheap, atmospheric co2 derived carbon fiber could change the world like the bessemer process did for industrial steel production.

Direct air capture of co2 into buildable materials and other products, biochar for soil restoration and carbon sequestration, and of course the switch to zero emission power sources. That's what I want from a Green New Deal.

Yeah the emergence of a wildly profitable carbon-negative technology would probably be our best bet to avoid the apocalypse at this point.

e: and the best part is, when we inevitably gently caress it up and cause an ice age by pulling too much co2 out, we can just start burning coal again!!!

It's super weird that any national news show can get any senior administration official fired just by running a fluff piece about Trump wanting to fire him, followed by a piece saying people like that official more than Trump.

I'm fairly sure Trump is the actual source behind the stories, or at least approves them getting out via his sycophants. He reliably responds to them even if the story is just a minor side thing in the news.

He's probably trying to change the attention back to himself because Fox and Friends is talking about AOC too much.
