    I’m sure this will spur society to prioritise the future viability of our species survival and the state of the environment over short term quarterly profits right? … right?

        People won’t care until it’s in their backyard. A couple of ads from BP and they’ll blame themselves a bit then start “recycling” their water bottles not knowing that recycling is bullshit.

          The problem is, it’s already in our backyards. From record breaking forest fires, to record breaking heat, and record breaking droughts…

          hey, but how far does your backyard go? Don’t you feel at least for your city, your country? Why not something bigger?

            It goes as far as their backyard goes. There is a lot of “me me” in this world, my friend

              There is also “us” which is a larger “me”. Large problem like unintentional geoengineering needs large “us” to control and reverse. There are political implications of this kind of “us”.
