I think launching satellites is a terrible idea but I do think Geo engineering is a necessity. We are on a good trajectory to phase out most fossil fuels simply because the economics make more sense. If we can do something to avoid the worst of climate change we need to do it because the fossil fuel industry is not going to give up massive profits to save the planet unfortunately. Even if there are side effects theres no way it's worse than letting climate change happen.
Elon must have read KSR's Mars Trilogy and never once thought this might end badly.
That fucker high. Probably banged his coconut on the way down to one of his surprise naps again.
Hell if we just launch enough satellites we won't have to worry about the pesky sun. /s
We're in Picard S2, on the Confederacy timeline.
Fml.
Yet another billion dollar grift from the muskrat...
I am sure he does not plan to serve those satellites to world's fascist regimes, why would he
Honestly I prefer shades ot aerosols but would prefer it at a la grange than in orbit.
People are over complicating this whole thing really.
History has the answers we need to the climate crisis. If we just offer the weather goblin a fine wheel of fresh cheese and four comely maidens he will reverse climate change and we will all have both a bountiful harvest and a plump red apple as his thanks.

Huh. Doomsday weather device is on my BINGO card.
Someone must have told him about the really cool documentary they saw called Geostorm, Narrated by Gerard Butler.
Fuck it. Let's just make a Dyson sphere. If you can already circle the planet with enough satellites to cool it while letting plants still grow you're well on your way

Ah... Souls in the Great Machine... A good book, but a terrible guide for humanity's development.
