The premise is based on the idea of solar geoengineering via stratospheric aerosol injection. Basically, it involves seeding the upper atmosphere with lots of tiny particles that can reflect some of the sun’s incoming rays back into space before they reach the surface, creating a cooling effect. It’s been theorized that dispersing around 5 million tons of pulverized diamond dust per year could lower global temperatures by nearly 2.9°F.

    I like beef. I’m generally content with beans and chicken to cover the same need, but I really like beef.

    I think if we make some kind of artificial beef sufficiently cheaper, we’ll dramatically reduce at least some of those emissions.

    Also reduction of carbon emissions is tied to current carbohydrates producers’ power, which is being used to preserve itself. Politicians are incentivized with indirect bribes to impede the transition.
