    Geoengineering should be outlawed, and just because it is presented to you in a way that they also didn’t pick a fight with oil companies that they would not win and can’t do it is stupid, really shows a person’s own lack of intelligence if they reject this because of that. No fucking Wonder we are in this place as a country. Jesus fucking Christ.

    So let me get this straight, the bill acknowledges climate change is bad, GHG emissions cause climate change, but then targets everything but the root cause of the problem? Really amazing work they’re doing out there in Arizona.

    What about planting trees to offset carbon? When does an artificial forest start to count as Geo engineering?

      Outlawing geo engineering is not stupid. Castigating doing so is because they did not pick a fight with oil they would lose badly 10x over is stupid.

    How does that even work? The only way I know to change the weather is with the Clear Skies shout — in Skyrim (a video game).

    What about Jewish space lasers? All of their representatives are in Israel’s pocket so I’m sure they’ll be exempt
