By the end of the 21st century, humanity is becoming desperate. Decades of heatwaves and droughts have led to unusually poor harvests, while the warming oceans yield fewer fish each year. In the tropical zones, millions suffer from famine and resource wars have made millions more flee to the north. As things quickly get worse, in an act of desperation, the world’s governments decide to enact an emergency plan…
It is far from certain that a grim scenario like this will play out. But the failure of world leaders to effectively address climate change, makes it far from impossible.
So in the near future it might become necessary to try something radical to slow down rapid climate change: Geoengineering. Interventions so massive in scale that they might undo centuries of human behavior. Or make everything much worse.
What is geoengineering, is it really an option and what if it goes wrong?
gee, I thought geoengineering had been going on for decades, doh! 🙂
I think we better get ready for that ‘dark winter’ Biden mentioned
Yep, low of 23 here, mid-30s on the US-Mexico border…in October….this might be a record cold in this area. No snow but freezing rain/ice….power outages…. The high was 28….
And this is the US…why are you using Celsius and KM? We use Fahrenheit and Miles….. (the video guy, that is)
So will they be booking tickets for the snowpiercer express?
Look at them slowly revealing themselves to those who have buried their heads in their phones and never looked up but had the gall to call other people nuts.
“Snow Piercer” eh? That is exactly what first came into my mind. And it is those who have buried their heads in their phones who will be at the back of that train! Kharma, for calling us truthers “conspiracy theory nutcases”! Will they enjoy it knowing their kids are strapped to the front of the train running the thing?
And of course as usual, we ate being bullshitted. You believe any of this garbage, your an idiot. If anything, get rid of the billionaires, earth returns to normality. FK everyone of the billionaire scum bags..
Or at least cage them at the South Pole….
