    We already did that (large-scale fossil fuel mining) and it’s what got us into this mess in the first place. There’s a saying that goes “when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you do is top digging.” You cannot fix a problem and continue actively making it worse at the same time. It just doesn’t fucking work.

    In other words, there is no “geoengineering” that will make any damn sense what-so-fucking-ever until we literally stop digging!
