"Climate Engineering: Doubling Down on Bad Habits"
https://steadystate.org/
In general, it seems Technocrats are not aware of and are ruining human alignment with the continuity of the ecosphere. Also, I suspect they are more or less innocently unaware of the elements of the ecosphere - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere (aka, geosphere) - and how those elements are deeply and intricately interrelated. They make up the Earth System, which is one giant ecosystem (with many sub-ecosystems).
It appears to me that their geoengineering plans (related to climate) are nothing more than efforts to avoid the reduction of carbon emissions. The reasoning seems to be: let's alter the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth and/or suck carbon out of the air, so we can keep burning fossil fuels into infinity. Those scenarios are not well thought out. See the spot-on article at the link above.

Here's why A.I. must be decentralized ASAP
Send this list (or the entire essay) to your political representatives.
Go to the link on the post below (from last month) for many more details provided by John Robb: https://individualsovereignty.blogspot.com/2024/02/this-peril-goes-way-way-beyond-trump.html
As Robb points out, totalitarian communism was defeated largely because its system was overly centralized. The system of democratic countries, for the most part, is decentralized, which over time makes it more innovative and resilient. Unfortunately, though, with financialization and corporate globalization, democratic countries essentially have created a highly centralized system. Only a relatively small number of people control the direction of finance, economics, trade, and politics. If A.I. remains a "black box" (so to speak) with only a small number of corporations determining its content and direction, then our centralization problem will increase exponentially. There's a high degree of probability that a somewhat subtle form of Authoritarianism will follow. It's highly likely that a majority of people will be convinced to demand it.

Gaza, Israel, USA, Biden, and Netanyahu
Someone I care about wrote me and suggested I have compassion for Biden. My response is below.
RE your "compassion for Biden" comment---
No Technology is more useful than this one
I just recently came off a 10+ hour power outage, plus the landline phone (the only phone I have) & internet were also out (& the fiber-optic cable for them is underground). This all in the middle of the heaviest snowfall in my 11 years here. It drove home two points...again.
