Futurism

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

Sooooo. Meme notwithstanding. I have a great many thoughts here. First being, I needed to find a source: https://www.dezeen.com/2019/07/27/refreezing-the-arctic-geoengineering-design-climate-change/

The obvious problem is that this is a "design concept" and not a scientific or engineering concept. And the designer has absolutely no inclination about energy budgets or thermodynamics.

It is my strong opinion that the only viable long term solution to global warming is solar shielding. Which I'm happy to discuss at length if there is interest. :)
