Think about that next year when climate gets even worse, and the year after.

And don't forget that it will get worse every year for the rest of your life. Unless we cut CO2 emissions to 0, in which case it won't recover: it will just stay as bad as it is when we stop the emissions. But no need to think about all the disagreements coming from cutting our energy use (because cutting emissions means cutting energy use), because we just won't do it. So we can happily focus on the wars that will come from the energy crisis and enjoy the climate worsening every year.

The obvious solution to the earth getting too hot is to reduce the amount of energy and obvious way to do that is to block out the sun, clearly. That's why we need so much space lift capacity. Not to get to Mars, but to blot out the sun which will cool the Earth!

Problem. solved.

"The obvious solution to this invasive species is to bring a predator from where they come from, so that it will regulate it. Problem solved".

5 years later, the problem is two invasive species. My point is that messing up with the climate is not necessarily a good way to fix the fact that we messed up the climate. Naive hope like this is simply dangerous.

And that's assuming that this ridiculous idea is actually possible in practice.

> The obvious solution to the earth getting too hot

What about the mass extinction we are measurably living in right now? It has nothing to do with the Earth getting too hot. We've lost 80% of insects, we are emptying the oceans... it's not a risk, it's happening. We measure it.

Haven't you heard? We're gonna not measure it!

Oh, was it sarcasm? You can add "/s", it helps :-).

Poe's law strikes again! (I downvote on /s reflexively)

[palata]

In all fairness, I routinely see that kind of comments that are not sarcasm.

Not strictly true. There are possible interventions that would reduce temperatures.

The problem is bigger than it simply getting warmer... Too many to list here.

Temperature by itself is just the easiest to observe
