Save Earth: Experiment with Mars & Venus Geo-Engineering First
More and more, hubristic leftwing “environmentalist” do-gooders are proposing to mess around with the Earth’s climate even more than we already are screwing around with the Earth, ostensibly to fix climate change problems. For example, these so-called “climate change activists” want to mimic the cooling effect of volcano ash by spraying man-made aerosol dust into the atmosphere.
This is madness. The unintended follow-on second-order consequences to their geo-engineering megalomania could easily become far worse than any benefit, and humanity has so little experience in this domain that there is no guarantee that any of these projects will realize their intended benefits.
In order to prove that these geo-engineering methods will work as intended, and not create unintended consequences far worse than the initial problem, humanity has a perfect testing ground: literally all other planets and moons in the solar system.
The Earth’s climate has been changing naturally for four billion years. Even if geo-engineering projects could achieve their precise objective to neutralize human effects on the climate, no more or less, humanity would still have to adapt to natural climate change that has been occurring for all of Earth’s history. Unless what these geo-engineering fans want to do is not only…
