    I wish people would stop linking stuff like this to climate change for cheap publicity. Even if this ever becomes a viable technology, it will take many decades before it can be widely adopted. We just don’t have that kind of time. We have to fix things with currently available technologies. And we have all the technologies we need to do it.
