Hi Adam.
nostr:npub1qqvt0m3nlvjnssmrn33w9yh7cuq2dx5nkz8wxax9hk5hrjdnj4jqz8cn3w has an incredible episode on this topic.
Worth your time!
And welcome to the rabbit hole.
I appreciate nostr:nprofile1qqst5teefqektpr4aytgpwyclxlq78v9q9nvd2pem0sgf5pxdttwyzspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyfhwumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn9u4qf5yj engaging with me in a thoughtful way, especially after I vented about the usual chemtail posts I see.
The video he shared is fairly neutral and it's a reasonable starting point for a more nuanced discussion. I was aware of some of these projects but of course the rabbit hole goes deeper. My only complaint is many of the documents he shares in the video don't include a link to the original source.
Discussion
Thanks. It's 2:23 in length, so I'll have to decide how much energy I want to devote to this. There are so many other troublesome things going on that are far easier to prove and therefore correctable. I'm just not convinced these studies can be stopped until there's less catastrophizing about the climate. A large segment of the population thinks the world will end if we don't take drastic action on the climate, thus funding for these ideas will continue.
Matt's documentary itself is actually an hour shorter than our podcast - if you're time-constrained I'd give this one a look first!
