    This is by far the most practical “geoengineering” solution I’ve seen, far better than aerosols over the arctic, space shades or whatever. The ecological damage is comparatively miniscules.

    And even then… quite a engineering feat. Nukes are actually “cheap” to scale up (a small bomb can catalyze big, cheap cores), but burying that much volume “3-5 km into the basalt-rich seafloor” is not something anyone is set-up to do.

    But by far the hardest part is… information. Much of the world doesn’t even believe in climate change anymore, and by the time they do, it will be too late.
