I know this isn't the first time this has been proposed but now we're probably gonna do it soon because we're pretty much doing fuck all to stop the planet from warming so I had a question. If we put sulfuric acid in the atmosphere and reduce temperatures, what about the oceans acidifying? Will this help the ocean situation at all or are the fish fucked?

I for one welcome a future where I can go surfing on the beaches of antarctica in the summer.

Has a highstanding guy from the climate panel at cambridge speak at my university to a small group.

I gave him a real hard time, considering its such an arrogant position to take, and that his excuse of 'just looking into solutions' was a blatant misrepresentation of the facts.

Among many other points, I also raised the spectre of acid rain/acidification. He claimed that models show sulfuric acid, if injected into the upper atmosphere, would remain there.

I asked if those were the same models that consistentlyy overreported temperature and sea level rises, and which could not even accurately model clouds.

He could only fall back on 'its just to explore possibilities of solutions'.

it's your own goddamn fault for being unable to tell the difference between climatology and meteorology
