It does seem like the world at large will do anything to avoid cutting emissions and planting trees.

🕶 One technology is "stratospheric aerosol injection" - or SAI. 🧴 It involves spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to reflect away some of the sun's warmth, like how volcanic eruptions darken the sky. 🛩 Special planes would deploy it, costing a few billion dollars a year.

The latest issue has hit the newsstands. Although I think we all know it's really printed in quiet back rooms and distributed by shady figures in dark alleys. gentledecline.substack.com/p/gentle-decli…

I have finally published what has lived in my Google Drive as "the Big Retrofitting Explainer" - which was an alternate title for this. I wanted to dive deeper into retrofitting and the climate, housing, employment & social justice elements of it all. bit.ly/3rZis09
