> SO2 is so obviously the right solution that we should do it now. Here's why
The charts don't make that obvious at all. I don't trust people that tell me there's only one solution to a problem. Especially if they don't explain why.
By looking at the stats, it looks like we've pretty much hit +1,5 degress celsius. Something we all feared, yet it's around the corner now.
Scary.
It is our fault that substractive solutions are counterintuitive. So our approach to rebalance a system that we unbalanced adding something is adding even more potentially disruptive things, and, of course, not touching what we added originally nor stop adding even more each year.
But is it accelerating or just increasing at a constant rate? The second derivative of the graph looks like ~0 to me. We need to reduce the rate to 0 (or below) which means deceleration.
Oh here we go again. Another Hacker News post for geo-engineering. Sigh. Such a waste of time. If doesn't fix any problem at all. It's just another vector for making money. Don't look up!

There's only one thing we can do today to delay it before we burn, enough to solve the problem: SO2 injection
