Future Thinking
If you were asked to vote, what would you choose?
What other similar planetary emergencies could occur and prompt you to plan in time strategies to adopt?
Are you prepared to endure at least ten years of winter?
And to live under a leaden sky?
What would be the effects on children?
Geo-engineering has implemented technology to cool the earth and counteract the climate crisis. It involves spraying sulfate particles to reduce some of the incoming solar radiation by lowering temperatures. The risks are very high.
We could thin the stratospheric ozone layer that protects us from ultraviolet radiation, causing acid rain and unpredictably changing climatic conditions in some areas. This would have dramatic consequences for agriculture and food security.
