Probably not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. No?

Seattle will be totally annihilated at some point in the future due to Pac NW plate tectonics/subduction zone and volcanic activity.

It might be next year, might be 500 years or 5,000 years from now, but it will happen one day.

Leave Nature Alone!

This is nothing more than a gigantic power grab by the elites and attempted depopulation.
Or it reminds me of when scientists thought it would be a good idea to tinker with deadly bat coronaviruses to make them more infectious with human cells. They skirted a ban put in place by US law and decided to do it overseas in a CCP lab that had very questionable preventative measures in place.

What could possibly go wrong?!?

In contrast to greenhouse gases, another category of emissions from human activities, particulate (aerosol) emissions, can act to cool climate. Aerosols cool climate by scattering sunlight and, when they mix into clouds can increase cloud reflectivity and lifetime. Through these mechanisms, aerosols from human activities are currently estimated to be offsetting about a third of greenhouse gas climate warming. This aerosol effect is also the most uncertain human driver of climate change, adding considerable uncertainty to the amount of climate warming attributable to greenhouse

Heading out to buy a sunbrealla right now. Who'd have thought the leader of the free world would imagine such a crazy notion? This guy is getting scarier by the day. And so are the people behind him, pulling his strings.

I read the book once when I was pretty young. It keeps popping up in my mind a lot lately.
