Please don't be fooled, anyone, into Geoengineering.
Some "Scientists" believe in it, but they never mathematically signed energy as necessary to distinguish between creation and destruction.
Energy is fundamental to the polycrisis we are seeing, the polycrisis is all about energy and how we use it.
The problem is we do not distinguish between creation and destruction, and our net activity is destruction.
E=MC squared is the relationship between materials and energy, this is long proven in practice.
When materials go to energy we have to get temperature rise, and vice versa when energy goes to materials.
The energy of the sun is the only one added to Earth, not subtracted, this should always have been made clear by science, myself included, but it has not. I can only guess the reason is profit.
This is the mistake science made.
The energy of the sun is the only one we can create with, the only one that can be used to reduce temperature, because temperature has to always follow the E=MC squared law.
Always, no exceptions.
We literally cannot cool the Earth without creating, we must create to cool, like nature does.
So we have to use the Energy of the sun.
Increasing Earth's albedo, as Geoengineering can only do, will reduce the energy available to create,
This will not only hit our own ability to create but also the ability of nature to create.
That would push us even further into the polycrisis, the effect would be to accelerate all global warming, as long as we still sit near the sun.
All of the negative effects we are seeing are due to us consuming more resources than nature can create, the energy we have lived on to date is more or less wholly negative, extracted from Earth.
Our net effect in this mode is destruction.
The only solution to turning the temperature change around, is to start creating.
We are capable of doing that at an even higher rate than we destroyed,
provided we do not downsize or degrow, as reductionists and doomers claim is necessary.
Its really important to understand this especially by non scientists.
So I don't think the approach of "leaving things to the scientists" is enough Ray.
You, and everyone needs to understand how this works.
Everyone needs to understand how this works, propagating the correct message.
It needs to be taught like law, to everyone, no exceptions.
The law is very simple, put the energy of the sun to as much use as possible, that is the only way to get the temperature back down.
A complication of this is that profit depends wholly on extracted energy.
I've said more about that elsewhere, but for now it's really important just get this hammered into all heads.
We need to all take a responsibility for science, and creation, we need to all know what it means, and what the difference is, otherwise we can have no survival, the planet has to hit flashpoint temperature if we can't change from net destruction to net creation.
This is the only law we need to know, the creation law of nature.
ChatGPT knows all of this also, it has a large part to play, and has already started.
