People who think they can control or even influence the climate are displaying human arrogance, a lot like a flea thinking about attacking an elephant. Maybe science is today's Tower of Babel.
Nah. Don't think so.
Fleas have no fear or reluctance about attacking an elephant. As far as they are concerned, the bigger they are, the more generations of fleas they will feed.
Nor do I have any reluctance to display human arrogance. I think we can, and should, influence and control the climate, not only on Earth, but also on Mars.
Here's the gist of my arrogant thinking: We need to be in space to protect Earth from random asteroids and comets, if we can detect and influence them early enough.
If we have to be there anyway, why not do other productive things? Eventually, the Sun will follow its natural progression and start getting warmer anyway, why not make a start at dealing with the problem now?
We can deflect sunlight with mirrors, and also absorb it for energy production with solar cell farms.
Arrogant? Yes. But what else are we going to do while we're here, fight with each other?
