I'll bite. I think geoengineering is the only way we solve this without going to global governance (which wouldn't happen on time without major wars).

I'd argue that we can put solar sails/shades in the Earth-Sun L1 Lagrange point and reduce incoming sunlight be up to ~0.5%. And that it wouldn't be that risky at all. It'd just be another mega construction project, and not a particularly nasty one even.

But I haven't done the engineering on it. I only speak as someone who did Planetary Science in grad school, and knows a bit about orbital mechanics. I once gave a grad school level presentation on solar sails while wearing a colander on my head, so that's exactly how hard I've thought about it.

If I had Elon's money and needed a redemption arc...

Chasing the dragon again eh

Very nice to see it being prebuilt for us to play with. That'll save a decent amount of hassle. :)

There is a world where Plasma release announcements are gaming news. And we are in that world. Never would have dreamed it.

Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin

Loved the first book and then stopped. Very fun and some interesting concepts too :)

Does links count? ;)

Or old school Konqueror.

I use Firefox on my phone, and Chrome on my work computer.

Canada only has appointed judges, and their appointments are almost uniformly meritorious. It's so much better than elected judges and keeps politics out of the Rule of Law. I think Mexico is making a mistake here. But perhaps it suits their specific needs.

The coastline there is receding, due to isostatic rebound. Actually this is true of most of the north. It's ironic in the context of global warming that sea level rise won't affect the north much as it melts.

This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

We should also be able to see their eyes and mouths, no? ;)

It's easy once you realize that it's talking about the river -- the water flows from uphill to downhill. Quebec is downhill of Ontario.
