Title: Diamond dust geoengineering could cool Earth by 1.6°C (35°F) at a $200 trillion cost
Post by: Redaktion on October 28, 2024, 01:40:09
Diamond dust could be the ultimate shield against global warming, outperforming other materials in reflecting sunlight and avoiding acid rain. But with a $200 trillion price tag through 2100, this ambitious geoengineering solution might be too expensive to implement.

Playing God with the planet and atmosphere.  What could possibly go wrong?

May want to make a correction to the title. A relative decrease of 1.6C is not equal to a relative decrease of 35F. Assuming current temp from google is accurate (59F = 15C), a decrease of 1.6C = a decrease of ~3F.

Title corrected, thanks, the direct translation of the difference is of course not valid.

Getting shredded lungs from inhaling that diamond dust probably. Asbestos on a glob scale.
