… but at what cost? /s
China is committing genocide against deserts.
Our undercover Vice reporters went into Ulaanbaatar, the heart of the Gobi desert. There, our two cameramen and senior political reporter Alex Kirk, uncovered the historical washing of China’s operation, where the Chinese Communist Party attempts to rewrite history from when they fell to the Mongolian empire by planting trees over region. This operation, says Alex, could cost China over 20 billion dollars each year, all while children in Beijing are starving from lack of consistent nutrition.

I discussed this with you in Mastodon: I used to be against geoengineering due to the massive amount if unknown risks. But now that the climate crisis has gotten THIS bad, the risk benefit analysis has been pretty significantly shifted and geoengineering seems like a viable solution despite the unknowns. Certainly more viable than doing nothing.
Another way to look at it is that we’re already doing geoengineering right now. So we might as well do it consciously.
