Geoengineering May Be Our Only Hope for Surviving Climate Change

ENGINEERING THE PLANET

While every small effort to combat the pressing problem of climate change helps, the situation may progress to the point that humanity has no choice but to take bold action in the form of geoengineering.

Could climate change transform Earth into Venus?

This branch of engineering focuses on large-scale technological interventions designed to physically manipulate our environment and planet in ways that will hopefully, at the very least, slow the advancement of climate change.

With experts predicting that the Earth will be at least 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer by the end of the century, these measures might be the key to saving life on our planet. To put that in perspective, the global average temperature during the Ice Age was only about 6.6 degrees Celsius (12 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than it is today.

As our climate changes and temperatures increase, every aspect of life on our planet will change along with it, so it is important that we figure out how to keep life on Earth, well, alive, even if it means taking risks.

Well, I think the alarmism is a bit retarded, but I actually like the idea of geo-engineering.

Case in point, what would it do to global carbon levels if we hydrated the Sahara? I remember posting an article not too long ago where some scientists had managed to pull water out of the atmosphere using a bit of ingenuity and sunlight; imagine if we filled deserts with these things and turned them into verdant wetlands...

Didn't you get the memo? Climate change is a fraud!

It's a political power leveraging, money making scam in essence, saying us humans are changing the climate.

It doesn't even have to be overly technical. We should just be reestablishing forest to stop desertification.

Get about 7 Billion people to plant some trees...

I stopped farting. Doing my part.

I already have a solution to all the climate change: every person who thinks humans are contributing to climate change should just kill themselves.

The problem would go away almost instantly.
