What might suit one region may cause devastating side effects elsewhere. It's even thought one nation's decision could spark conflicts by others who deem it an act of war.<br /><br />As I've pointed out elsewhere, climate change is but one of three existential threats that threaten us and we either sort them all or we'll fail to resolve any of them. Climate change approaches - adaptation, mitigation and, yes, geoengineering - must be part of an effort that also addresses overpopulation and our gross over-consumption of Earth's finite resources. Tackling climate change in isolation is like putting out the fire in the livingroom while the flames consume the rest of the house. There are no cheap and dirty answers.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-84227990299166010922017-05-25T13:16:25.632-07:002017-05-25T13:16:25.632-07:00We better get a crash program to carefully study g...We better get a crash program to carefully study geoengineering. Because we are heading on a course that will require its use, and we do not want to use those tools completely blind.crfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726414637021391906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44666432570162082752017-05-24T16:15:56.125-07:002017-05-24T16:15:56.125-07:00Hi, Lorne.

If that was right it would mean more than a cull but virtual extinction, the die off due to the range of climate change impacts and major war of many billions of humans. It's a huge number that truly defies imagining.The Earth, however, given a few hundred thousands of years, would bounce right back. Maybe that next evolutionary chain won't be as arrogant and selfish as we've been.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-90318301352879959902017-05-24T12:30:47.817-07:002017-05-24T12:30:47.817-07:00Ah, Mound.

Even though I know that the story of Noah's ark and the great flood are lore, one can't help but think of the motive ascribed to the deity over that one which, if I recall correctly, was to wipe the earth of the scourge of humanity. Is this the Second Culling, perhaps?Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-83188761408957829192017-05-24T11:52:25.426-07:002017-05-24T11:52:25.426-07:00I know he's already seeking permission to take...<br />I know he's already seeking permission to take steps to deal with erosion problems at his Scottish golf resort.
