Artificial clouds like control burns. Before we turn into Venus and all that’s left of us is some phosphine farts.

Funny how we’re inching closer to simply rolling the dice on the natural stability band of earth. I don’t think we’ll end up in runaway global warming a la Venus, but I suspect it will only take a far smaller thermal hiccup to wipe most life out.

Planetary homeostasis might well self-correct to lovely weather somehow in a couple of centuries, but that doesn’t mean most life can endure the transient spike.

I wonder how that tech maturation curve works. Or really, what’s to stop some egomaniacal billionaire from just... doing it... because he decides it’s worth rolling the dice now rather than waiting for the science
