Climate Engineering

There is absolutely no proof of this. The earth goes through cycles of hot and cold and a single volcano lets out more CO2 than humans

This was just about a very particular winter, wtf?

oil companies suffered major drawbacks in the 70s

Not in 50 years

This thread is such trash.

What we actually need to do is to use more nuclear energy and waste less energy on things we do not need.

You are absolutely ignorant of most scientific reports on this issue if you are not aware that many irreversible events have already happened.

Actual climate scientist here. The only viable geoengineering options are stratospheric aerosol injection (adding small particles to the air above 12km) and planting trees. The aerosol injection basically mirrors what happens when there is a large volcanic eruption but eventually the particles leave and you get a reset. So if we started doing it the CO2 builds up and we need more particle injection to the atmosphere. The real concern is that finances/ war / political will stops and then there is the risk of temperatures increasing by 4-6+ degrees in a single year which would be devastating. Also the aerosols completely screw with the weather meaning more flooding and droughts. So not ideal!

The reasons the others aren't viable is as follows. Iron fertilisation has a very small effect as does increased weathering. Carbon capture and storage works if you are removing CO2 using an energy source to power the process that doesn't emit CO2. Changing the reflectivity of the planet would work except it would require painting 10% of the planet white, whether that is feasible or not you decide.

Happy to answer any questions. I have been wondering if there were other climate scientists on leftypol. I got into climate science to avert the damage so it is frustrating that the capitalists do nothing. I don't know what i can do besides trying to build my profile on social media.

Do you think subsidizing cash crops that grow in poor soils would help fight climate change?

Assuming nothing happens, how many degrees do you believe we'll add and how would climatic zones and habitability in them would change?

I'm a mathematician and I'm not gona lie, I'm a sceptic of climate alarmism for the following reason: it relies on various mathematical models, however, it completely forgoes statistical verification of the said models. Thus, it entirely lacks the component of "how likely it's actually true". Thus it cannot be considered an objective statement.

That said, I don't disagree of general sentiment of maintaining ecology.
