Fantastic way to get people to not trust scientists.

(And let's be real here, most scientists suggested a wildly different approach to solving climate change. This smells more like the behavior of capital than science.)

And what exactly smells like science then? This is the only method of planet cooling that we know actually works due to it having occurred naturally in the past due to volcanic eruptions.

A) that's absolutely not true, for instance we have archeological evidence of plants drastically altering the global temperature. For some reason the same solution is viewed as naive today with no clear explanation. B) presumably any such smell would imply extreme skepticism—same as any empiricist presented with a model. There's zero skepticism as presented by this article, which leads me to think this dude is either insane or a shill for moneyed interests.

They shouldn't. Science has been captured by industry and the military industrial complex.
