I really respect X and Astro Teller. We need this kind of optimism and radical exploration for social benefit. Did you know that his grandfather was Edward Teller, inventor of the hydrogen bomb? In one of Edward's final contributions [1], he mathematically modeled the cost and effect of pumping sulfur-based compounds into the upper atmosphere to reduce runaway feedback loops of global warming. On paper, it works. Solving global climate change is a real moonshot -- but too bad it is so taboo, because it could dramatically benefit all life on earth, if done right. Looks like balloons could be helpful for the implementation, too [2] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20160127185550/https://e-reports... [2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_geoengineering |
