A century from now people will look back on our entire culture and ask how we could be so silly as to think we had the power to change the weather.

Trying to inject CO2 into the ground is going to be laughed at the way we now laugh at people 150 years ago who hired rain dancers.

You’re absolutely right. I have a degree in Medieval Literature. When people ask me if the medieval world had some crazy ideas I say yes. But those ideas weren’t any crazier than many of the ideas that the modern world has.

does anyone consider the net effect of this. Even if C02 was a probem, the act of pumping it in the ground probably produces more c02 than that amount put in the ground.

I believe the oil industry has been injecting CO2 into depleted fields to elevate production for decades.

It's the scale of this project that makes it different (and questionable).
