We'll drop a giant ice cube into the ocean, solving the problem once and for all!

You kid, but we're not gonna get greenhouse gases under control. We're gonna find a way to stabilize temps and kick the can down the road to the next issue co2 causes.

That's fallacious reasoning.

Just because climate engineering is the only way to stabilize temperatures doesn't actually mean it can be done. That's all hypothetical tech, just like carbon capture and other fairy tales we tell ourselves to cope with the reality of the end of the fucking world.

I'll tell you what will happen. We won't do anything to stop or slow climate change and we'll reach a tipping point, after which society will rapidly collapse into warring factions and any hope of stabilizing the climate will be gone until we have a nuclear winter reset.

We can't even agree the world is overpopulated let alone stop our bullshit.

We're all going to die horrible deaths and it's going to be well-deserved hubris.

Overpopulation is a cop out, we could supply even more people. Its more an issue with greed and inequality that causes the problems instead of overpopulation
