    Of course nothing can go wrong with this experiment and we now don't even have to woory about climate change. Stangely, it's autumn in Brazil and I'm sweating shirtless in a city that used to be called "The Brazilian Switzerland". The name wasn't because of cholocate, banks nor sophisticated industry - it was because how cooler the city was when compared to others in the region.

    I was struck at the end by the answer to the question of when we can see this in action. He said the scientist say it is too early in the technology to discuss all the applications. The truth is that one can do the analysis now and see if it is economically feasible. The answer is very likely no.

    • @yurona5155

      Actually those calculations have been done in a whole variety of studies (perhaps most prominently by David Keith at Harvard). Turns out atmospheric H2SO4 aerosol injection is not only economically feasible, it is almost laughably cheap.

      This is only the beginning of climate change. You’re just getting a taste of the catastrophic climate, events, your children and grandchildren will face.

      ​@@yurona5155 I looked into the studies and stand corrected. If the analysis holds to be true, the theoretical cost should be much lower than I would have thought (10s of billions to cool earth by a degree). Hope we can actually get it implemented in a reasonable time frame and at that reasonable cost. It's actually pretty baffling if true in that we can solve climate change for 1% of the cost of our foreign wars that never amounted to any positive outcome for humanity.

    We all know that our air conditioning and cars are more important than global warming. I don't see people giving up thier comfort for the global good. Unfortunately we are selfish. I do hope that these experiments are able to help. I could see that these clouds could raise the salinity of the ground. I think if it rains over the oceans that wouldn't be a problem.

    Cloud brightening is great during the day, but what do they do at night when we rely on clear sky's to radiate heat to space? Unless we can increase clouds during the day, maybe with contrails, and decrease clouds at night, maybe with cloud seeding, sounds like a waist of time. Let's use the abundance of commercial airplanes over major cities to ease their heat island effect.

    One of the reasons why people have a hard time taking climate change seriously is the use of the "Precautionary Principle" by the green movement in the 1970s. If you remember there were films like "Soylent Green" and "Silent Runner" and predictions for the complete decline of nature before 1980. The exaggeration had good intentions but as always it had unexpected consquences: once the world did not end in 1980, people started not to take seriously that type of prediction. The "Precautionary Principle" states that even when predictions have little factual basis, the fact that these predictions could be atastrophic, Governements had the duty to exaggerate and act as a precaution. The principle was later incorporated by the Neo-Conservative movement and gave birth to things like "I just hope the smoking gun is not a mushroom cloud" and the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The New York Times should no better, btw. Fool you once, its a mistake, fool you twice, it's incompetence.
    What you are saying is that Climate Change is so bad - and it probably is - that we should try to control the climate artificially instead of bringing it back to a state in which it controls itself. You are also saying that we, citizens, can do nothing to change CO2 emission levels - or, in other words, there's no real democratic State in the west. BTW, people have been doing a lot to fight climate change but perhaps what you said is true: there's no real democracy in the Western World. Your lie is on how you said it - in a way that sugar coats it so much people don't see the feeling beneath the frosting.

    Wouldn't a relatively simple plan be to mandate that all new cars, roads, tops of buildings, etc be either white or silver rather than blacktop or some other dark color? That would seem to be a relatively quick, cheaper, and less intrusive measure to make the surface more reflective. You give up a black car, but you still have a car. When you repaint your residence or building, you just have to pick a lighter color. If you live in Phoenix or Las Vegas, is it really that much of a sacrifice to put white rock in your landscaping and white shingles on your roof? A major city like London, New York, or Tokyo has a pretty good sized surface area.

      The ocean absorb more than 90% of the suns radiation here on earth. That’s why the massive reduction in sea ice extent is such a big problem.
