Gotta nuke somethin'.

That would just make the molepeople mad and double our problems

This is “nuke the hurricane”-level science.

The last time I checked, we don't have a whole lot of climate solutions that feature the bomb. And I'd be doing myself a disservice.. and every member of this species, if I didn’t nuke the HELL out of this!

Carbon sequestration is not going to solve global warming. CO2 is less than 2% of atmosphere. Even if you pass a shitton of air through the strata the difference will be negligible.

I'm pulling for artificial diamonds. It's the funniest solution: dumping truckloads of precious gemstones back down empty wells. Or burying them in the desert. Or I guess just handing them out for industrial uses, since even grinding them to dust isn't the same problem as CO2. Have a free bucket of aquarium gravel, made out of worthless tacky gold.

I feel like the podcast Behind The Bastards talked about this in the episode released today.

Drivel...

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit

It's the only way to be sure

I love fusion explosions, I love fission explosions.

This is by far the most practical "geoengineering" solution I've seen, far better than aerosols over the arctic, space shades or whatever. The ecological damage is comparatively miniscules.

And even then... quite a engineering feat. Nukes are actually "cheap" to scale up (a small bomb can catalyze big, cheap cores), but burying that much volume "3-5 km into the basalt-rich seafloor" is not something anyone is set-up to do.

But by far the hardest part is... information. Much of the world doesn't even believe in climate change anymore, and by the time they do, it will be too late.

Well, I'm sure controlled slow-paced mining is more energy efficient and will emit less carbon to create...

But I'm not stopping that guy. Go on. I'll just watch from a safe distance.
