    In all seriousness: small-scale geo-engineering will probably be a part of mitigating climate change but any large scale geo-engineering will be as disruptive & destructive as climate change. The only path forward is decarbonization.https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1065993396395880448 …

    Harvard and Yale scientists are proposing that we tackle climate change by dimming the sun. It sounds crazy, but according to their research, it could actually cut the rate of global warming in half: https://cnn.it/2R8SBO6

        I think calling this geoengineering might be giving it too much credit

        I expect someone like Elon to do some pretty large scale project and then tell everyone later. Some of the radical proposals seem way too easy to pull off with just a few people in the know and a pile of cash.

        Musk would never do anything without getting credit. But I wonder about someone like Thiel.
