Possibly the only good idea ever conceived by Bill Gates was to release fine chalk dust into the upper atmosphere. We could even attach delivery systems to passenger jets so they release the dust at 30,000 feet which is cruising altitude, so this is done automatically with every flight. Chalk dust is non-toxic and even helps some plants grow. But leftists and "indigenous groups" (aka leftist groups wearing a mask) complained about it being a bad idea.
If we can't terraform Earth, how the hell do we ever move off-world and colonize other planets? This is the easiest world we will ever get to terraform and if we can't do it here, we sure as hell won't do it anywhere else.
Chalk dust is non-toxic, but it's not safe to inhale in large quantities.
Adding calcium carbonate to soil increases its alkalinity and fucks with trees.
This is a good example of a simple, easy to understand solution to a complex problem that's completely wrong. It's the opposite concept to KISS. Terraforming is not simple or easy to understand because of the possible side effects.
