Climate Scientist Pioneer Talks About the Furture of Geoengineering

First time accepted submitter merbs writes At the first major climate engineering conference, Stanford climatologist Ken Caldeira explains how and why we might come to live on a geoengineered planet, how the field is rapidly growing (and why that's dangerous), and what the odds are that humans will try to hijack the Earth's thermostat. From the article: "For years, Dr. Ken Caldeira's interest in planet hacking made him a curious outlier in his field. A highly respected atmospheric scientist, he also describes himself as a 'reluctant advocate' of researching solar geoengineering—that is, large-scale efforts to artificially manage the amount of sunlight entering the atmosphere, in order to cool off the globe."

It is a big deal. It a huge fucking deal. But morons like you can't understand that, don't understand even the most basic science, and keep talking as if your ignorant opinion should have the same weight as an informed opinion.

The only people who it isn't a big deal are people who have become bitches of science denial.
You are no different then the people in Africa denying that Ebola is real.
Stupid, ignorant, FUD spread prick.
