Hypothetically speaking. If we modified the airplane engines. Something harmless.

    I’ve listened to a podcast about geoengineering, but it’s unfortunately in Swedish. The name of the podcast? P3 Dystopia.

    Yeah… Geoengineering might sound good on paper, but often comes with all kind of terrible side-effects.

      I mean, we should have noticed by now, that our models on global climate are not working that well. Geoengineering without at least decent knowledge of the potential fallout, is just plain stupid to me.

        our models on global climate are not working that well.

        They’re not? All I’m hearing is that they work super well, though published results tend to err on the conservative side when it comes to how much we’re fucked.

          Yeah, that’s what I meant. It’s probably partly policy as well, but they’re not accurate.

      How much worse can it get, if somebody does it with a clear purpose, compared to what we do now - just venting bunch of random stuff out to the atmosphere, hoping it’ll be okay-ish.
