Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

One problem with many of these methods is that the geoengineering program must continue.
Let's say we did it for 60 years, still emitting greenhouse gasses due to the lack of immediate warming effect. Then, society shifts, the world decides that expensive geoengineering projects are unnecessary, outside of the budget, or that politicians think the risk is overblown. We stop the programs. Then we have extremely rapid warming that could push us over multiple tipping points in a few short years before anyone admits fault.
These projects need to be considered as a stay-of-execution, but many in power will treat them as an excuse to continue fossil fuel emissions.
yeah this is the most obvious path programs would send us down
even if these could work, it'll be just like mask mandates and isolation periods in 2020. once cases went down they tore down all precautions.
the ruling class would probably use these as an excuse to accelerate emissions because the problem is "solved" until eventually killing the project and dooming it all
