Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint::According to one professor, we may be able to stop climate change if we used a new super white paint to cover the entire United States

Yes, any high-tech barely tested solution rather than change our life-destroying habits please!
As far as untested tech solutions to climate change go, I’ll gladly take artificial albedo over the “let’s blot out the sun” that they’ve been floating the last few years.
Orbital mirrors. Artificial mangrove islands covering the southern Atlantic. Algae bioreactors in every commercial building.
There’s lots of things to try, and… Ones a hell of a lot easier to throttle or reverse, and don’t involve making the air more toxic for humans by nature.
Can we please start trying things, but not the one hard to stop where we purposely pollute the skies?
i mean, what’s a more realistic solution? a small group that finds a high-tech development which can help us, or getting the majority of humanity to cooperate on what should be an obvious and necessary goal?
my bet’s on the tech, at least with A.I. assisted research.
something has eroded my optimism towards the reliable and cooperative nature of our species. if we’re putting our money on that, i consider us all doomed.
I don’t care about high tech solutions, because we already have the solutions.
We figured out high density housing that still maintains greenspace in the 60s and the first commercial nuclear reactors started taking off in the 70s. Since then the last 50 years have basically just been fucking around as far as the climate is concerned.
