Geoengineering anyone?!:
“Arctic news
Dana Woods:
There's almost no one posting or commenting or even responding with (oft mysterious) icons on Sam's Geoengineering page anymore. The very few left , other than Sam and myself seem to me to be anti-geoengineering and also ill informed and "inspired" by fear
This has really helped , along with the constant stream of VERY bad climate news, to kill my last little bits of inspiration for getting "my" Cloud Brightening petition finished and circulating .
If some of you who are pro-Marine Cloud Brightening testing and implementation *ASAP* and/or pro the STUDY of SRM in general (don't worry if you tend to have fears of other technologies, the plans are to drag out the study of all of them over a decade or 2 that won't exist) would *raise your hands* 🥰 That would give me a tiny bit of inspiration I'm lacking (I also have major personal issues with finding time , mental energy and mental health these days on top of no support in this from anyone ) THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME !!
It would also be awesome if you joined the Geoengineering group and said something other than "that's extremely dangerous" with no evidence to back up whatever you're claiming is "dangerous" or "What about MEER?," which Dr Tao has officially given up on near term at scale and for which he's quoted the cost at one trillion per year for 80 years ...unless and until the world finds a way to recycle ENORMOUS amounts of glass and other things for mirrors and other reflective surfaces - NOT going to happen in time , in time possibly being less than a year at this point , maybe 2 years if we don't have an El Nino ASAP , or we can "put the genie back in the bottle" (refreeze the ice before too much Methane escapes) — feeling down.”

The IPCC’s final warning has fallen on deaf ears. Understand what this means.

Social Murder is achieving the desired result:
“Failed state with an indifferent govt
A decade after a landmark report on Americans' shorter lives, the problem has only gotten worse. Unlike other wealthy nations, U.S. life expectancy has not bounced back from the pandemic.”

Antarctica is being liquidated:
“Lowy Institute Discounts Antarctic Environment to Zero.”
“In a gratuitous attack on environmentalists moving to save the Southern Ocean from the impact of the industrial krill extraction, Australia’s The Lowy Institute has come out gunning on behalf of the krillers.
This parallels the institutional attacks on Sea Shepherd’s successful campaign to stop whaling in Antarctic waters a decade ago, and will have the same result. It will help the campaigners raise public awareness of the growing threats to the Southern Ocean’s ecosystem. For that we have to be grateful.
However the Lowy Institute’s Claire Young’s long essay avoids the question of the impact of krill extractors on Antarctica’s living ecosystem. Young gets in the obligatory nod to the argument by saying that Sea Shepherd’s ‘latest campaign is against krill fishing in the Southern Ocean – the crucial food supply for whales, seals and penguins. Only ironically, Sea Shepherd’s demands may actually harm the very protections already in place. That includes the impact on the whales, penguins and seals which depend upon krill as their staple food source.’
If you are a mouthpiece for needlessly plundering natural resources, get around the immorality of it by arguing that not plundering them is even more harmful. Obstructing Japanese whale killers is piracy. Defending wild forests in one’s own country will increase logging in another country. Opposing industrial fish farms polluting coastal waters is an attack on jobs and growth. Spare the rod and you’ll spoil the child.”
