They can do this by increasing the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - we need to be pumping way more dihydrogen monoxide up there as it’s level is 2 orders of magnitude higher in concentration than CO2.

Correct, humans are a tropical species and only technology allows them to expand their range.
Warmer temps would open up large areas to inhabit and harvest.

“Snowpiercer” is a warning, not an instruction manual.

The math behind our Global Warming models is thoroughly fake. No, we have no idea how climate will change over the next few decades.

The math behind our Geoengineering models is moderately good. We know exactly how climate will change, initially, if we block the sun. However, we have no clue what kind of positive or negative feedback loop that might start. The result of dimming the sun could easily be an irreversible global ice age lasting tens of thousands of years.

For those curious as to why David Brooks included journalists in his "Expert Class", it's because they believe it. Is it that much of a step in self-aggrandizement for Klein et al to consider themselves gods?

I'd recommend they start small just to get accustomed to godlike behavior - whipping the ocean worked for Xerxes and the weather never gave him trouble after that.

I’ve seen proposals like this before.

I wonder what these dolts think they will eat when they dim the sun and crops fail? And what will they breathe when the organisms that break down CO2 no longer can photosynthesize and release that O2 for us to breathe (the C part is used to make the sugars, fats, and proteins that we consume)?

I get the impression that global warmism is a death cult, much like the one Jim Jones led. Only it involves every living organism on earth, not just a few hundred mindless followers.

It would be easier to change the tilt of the Earth than to dim the Sun.

This stuff comes around every few decades.

1960-1969, too much sun light was reaching the earth and could not radiate off into space due to AIR POLLUTION! The Green House Effect!

1969-1985, not enough sun was reaching the earth causing THE COMING ICE AGE! So the US cleaned up it’s air.

1988-now, again too much sun is hitting the earth melting glaciers and can’t escape due to CO2 Air Pollution!

Any old excuse for the government to regulate, regulate regulate!

Human are huge exhalers of the evil CO2. They must be eliminated to save the precious Earth Mother.

Oh, how we laughed at the people from long ago who blew horns to make an eclipse stop.

Yeah, but it worked!

The leader of the Journo list coordination site. It told journalists what to say until it was hacked.
