Yes, you've got to do SOMETHING !!!

It's good to remember, I think, that sometimes moving quickly is exactly what's required.

ONLY when we know what we are doing. we are already messing with the climate one way, hastily doing it in another way to try to stop the effects of the first way will be the death of us. Geo-engineering to try to keep the planet the way we want it instead of using the energy and money to adapt to the new environment is a huge mistake.

a more apt analogy is that we are a blindfolded bomb tech, trying to defuse a bomb that has no timer, while someone screams in our ear's to just cut wires till it stops ticking.

"ONLY when we know what we are doing"... Geo-engineering to try to keep the planet the way we want it..."

Utter insanity.

Trying to stop spewing CO2 is one thing, trying to deliberately alter the climate is another.

Besides, it doesn't matter. We are undergoing Collapse. Nature has already taken things into Her own hands.

Sorry Homo Saps, but TimezUp.

Sorry TrueKaiser - it was late, and I was in a rush.

And your analogy with the Bomb tech and "just hurry and cut the wires" is spot on.

Again, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Conservation is instantaneous

If you care about your childern
and the people yet to come
best you think about tomorrow
and just slow that Hummer down

"Conservation is instantaneous"

Yes, I agree.

But dump the hummer. Get a big stone head on your lawn if you need desperately to impress people.
