“That you do not understand the fundamental difference between the math and physics required to land a mass on Mars and that required to predict the climate on Earth 100 years hence …”
Perhaps the problem with your lack of understanding is greater than I thought.
How incredibly, normally, conservatively short sighted that view is. The entire application of this process will be on them correctly understanding how the material will disperse. They will likely have to do many of these test, but they have to start somewhere to begin to understand these things.
Attitudes like yours would have never begun the process and test necessary to get us to the moon. You’d have been calling all of the beginning work a total joke and waste.
it’s not an “attitude” it’s just applying actual science. and common sense. this is a waste of time
china and india are devastating the atmosphere with flagrant disregard and these jokers are spreading calcium in the air thinking we can eventually block some sun
the question that should be asked is “what possible good can result from this experiment in light of all the other leviathan environmental assaults taking place around the world?”
this is far from “bold. “ and nothing like finally achieving a greater lift to weight ratio in an airplane
you (and everyone else they depend on) think it’s “bold” because you saw an article in the breathless-leftist Nature and so won’t dare think critically
If the premise proves doable they will be able to effect the global temperature of the planet and prevent what would be disastrous results if temperatures did continue to rise and the oceans began to rise whether the increase is man made or not.
What could go wrong?..and don’t we already have this sun blocking technology?
It’s called the smoke from every forest and wildfire from LA. To Vancouver. That did plenty to shorten my swimming pool season here in the midwest. The wildfire smoke reduced temps by sometimes 5 degrees below normal just because there was not full sun.
you have no idea whether or not temps will even continue to rise, and if they do why, or what the effects will be other than what you see in the damn movies
blocking out the sun to cool the earth is imbecilic notion
how about we start with painting all the roofs white instead, and using white pavement? that would be crazy huh?
