Every day we don't invest in/experiment with orbital solar shades, I die a little inside
there is an entire field of concepts we abandoned not because science proved them impossible, but because we decided, culturally, they sounded crazy. modifying hurricanes is absolutely something we should be focussed on. https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-the-u-s-tried-to-control-hurricanes-11573880461 …pic.twitter.com/WpkS2V3r0K

solar geoengineering seems like an obvious low hanging fruit. there’s this working group at Harvard at the moment of literally the best cited climate scientists working just grinding away at it with like three random folks in attendance every week. also free lunch.

wow, would love to learn more about this. do you mind connecting me to someone over there?

Have you read The Imagineers of War about the history of DARPA?
