So bezos and his guests flying dozens of individual private jets to Venice are the "younger generations"? It doesn't have a lot to do with age but seems to correlate with wealth. The wealthier you are (as a nation and an individual) the more you typically (on average) contribute to climate change.

Probably a scripted route.
I think you underestimate how stupid he is.
Aerosols aren't gases in the classial sense and reflect sunlight. This works especially well high up in the atmosphere.
There are studies that collect data around volcano eruptions and coal power plants getting online and offline. Long story short: Climate is complicated; I'm not a climate scientist and not to be trusted; it would work great at cooling the planet; we definitely shouldn't do it (yet?) because it masks the temperature problem and could lead to us not reducing CO2 because we "wouldn't have to", but it could be a tool if we might be on the edge of a catastrophic runaway effect that causes too much water to evaporate into the atmosphere.
Update: Btw, you are right about dark particles low in the atmosphere, those typically warm the planet. It's mainly sulfur dioxide aerosols byproduct that cool the planet (also mentioned in the NASA article)
It's not really hard to implement at all but would just trade pest for cholera. We could just burn a lot of coal again, the dustier and dirtier the better. But that's pretty bad for air quality but it would seriously cool the planet.
If they're at MY door, what else can be done but defend my life with my life?
That's what I meant with you wouldn't do anything. First you'd still have other options and if ICE is at your door and you start shooting at them it will probably kill you faster.
You sound pretty flippant with people's lives
That was not my intention. It totally get why nobody is doing anything, especially with guns, because of the consequences. I just pointed out that so many people in favor of armed civilians bring completely flawed arguments and now we actually see in action how useless a "regulated militia" is.
why don't you go grab a gun and suicide into an armed force for great justice?
Why would I? I don't have a gun and never argued in favor of armed civilians, because it's completely useless (and research shows that it only increases the chances of domestic violence and suicide). Maybe it wasn't useless at the time the constitution was written but the current situation shows that it is now. Besides that I live in Vienna.
Things don't scale linearly like that. Many things are proportional to either the surface (so x²) or volume (x³) or complex combinations of those.

America is top of the list yet nothing happens. Seems like those "to defend against rogue government" arguments are just talk anyway and the entire world told you that for years.
Looks like Americans are all talk and just keep the guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.
Yet nothing in the news, because Americans are all talk.
I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.
It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)
Our kids really liked it, thank you kind stranger.

We might very well be in the end times and maybe AI will wipe us from the planet to prevent earth from becoming Venus.
