Yeah. Thanks for sanity.

I react the same to “we should build drone to pollinate our food if bees are sick.”

Poorly re-inventing the wheels is silly.

I mean human pollinators already outperform bees so if we only care for productivity there's room to grow

we need to get better at it, a lot of reforestation projects fail to successfully establish a new population of trees

There are a lot of places that need rain that don’t have the climate to support a forest. Further, if this effect scales with quantity you can seed areas experiencing droughts.

Essentially the same reason we’ve been researching cloud seeding to date.
