Thanks for the mention Jason! If people want to help us scale up to larger deployments of stratospheric aerosol injection, please buy some Cooling Credits: https://makesunsets.com/products/join-the-next-balloon-launch-and-cool-the-planet

I did a double check of the nuclear fission energy abundance calculation and was glad to see it align with use of breeder reactors as calculated here by Nick Touran https://whatisnuclear.com/nuclear-sustainability.html. Apparently you get even more resource when you consider erosion in rivers bringing crustal uranium into the sea for seawater extraction.

I think increasing energy consumption and geoengineering are both inevitable.

https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/why-we-cant-leave-nature-alone this was one of my favorite articles that helped me realize how the endless loop of environmental fix to unintended consequence has been going on for a long time and will never stop.

Geoengineering is just the grandest scale we’ve ever operated on.
