We are now in a phase of desperate measures – hi-tech, geoengineering planetary reboots.
These ‘experiments’ will be run, not in a lab, but on the whole planet. The capacity for injustice is gargantuan. Depending on the type of geoengineering, this may include an increase in regional drought and conflict, negative impacts on human health and local ecologies, and use by the military. Power protects power, so the question must be asked, what and whom are we trying to protect and why? #JustCollapse
‘The hubris of some, who thought that this was just a mechanical or physical problem to solve, and the lack of awareness of the science of climate change and the natural chaotic variability of climate, was very scary’.
