Ah yes of course. We can’t even agree if methane will have an accelerating effect or if methane simply breaks down too fast to have a significant effect. The obvious solution is to add more things and see if it helps. Great plan!

They aren’t suggesting to pump methane in the atmosphere.

That’s our current course already,
Bad wording on my part. I mean that we cannot even agree on the effects one more heat-trapping gas would have, and now we plan to add yet another thing that apparently caused a year without summer. Forgive me for having little faith in people that thinks we should pump some other crap up there and see what happens.
Isn’t this exactly how “Snowpiercer” starts?
Sure… we can totally invent a hundred different solutions soon™ that mean we can just keep burning fossil fuels like we really, really want to.
Okay… they will actually never work and we will irreversibly damage our planet. But that’s okay, because the people telling you those fairy tales will have made a lot of money by then. And that’s also worth something, isn’t it?
I have to wonder how this would impact fossil fuel competitors like solar and wind, given that both are driven by the sun. I’m sure these rich bastards would love to kill two birds with one stone.
Shit. I hadn’t even considered making solar less viable as a side effect, too…
Wind is largely driven by the sun too, so it’s something to consider.
Most climate scientists aren’t keen on geoengineering. Things aren’t bad enough we need to do this yet.
Okay, so say it works and we reduce warming. Our atmosphere is still filled with more CO2 than it should be, thus making it more difficult to breathe. So we’d have a dark, oxygenless planet with everyone wearing suits or at least carrying around oxygen canisters that they probably have to buy from a machine.
Not a world I want to live in.

I’ve been talking about this issue for years, though not very loudly since it’s considered a “conspiracy theory”. Interesting that it’s starting to be taken more seriously. Must be about to happen on a level that can’t be ignored, if it isn’t already. Real nightmare-fuel. (Pun intended.)
