Any attempts to engineer the climate are likely to result in "different" climate change, rather than its elimination, new results suggest. Prof Ken Caldeira, of Stanford University, presented research at a major conference on the climate risks and impacts of geoengineering. These techniques have been hailed by some as a quick fix for climate change.
But the impacts of geoengineering on oceans, the water cycle and land environments are hotly debated. They have been discussed at a meeting this week of 12,000 scientists in Vienna. Researchers are familiar with the global cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, seen both historically and even back into the deep past of the rock record. With this in mind, some here at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly ( http://www.egu2015.eu ) have been discussing the possible worldwide consequences of pumping sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to attempt to reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet.

The moderation matches the community, as a whole. If it does not match up with your personal reality, that means that you are the problem, not the community. Going against the status quo and not going along with circlejerk groupthink is one thing, but (thankfully) this place is far from an echo chamber and anything that gets modded purely because its "against the status quo" gets fixed pretty quick, so that whatever stays modded down after about a day is because its totally fucking retarded and out of touch with reality.

It can't match the community as a whole. A lot of us post as AC. We don't have accounts. We don't want accounts. So we don't get to moderate comments. Thus our views are ignored thanks to the broken moderation system that requires accounts.

Oh woe is you!
Moderation is censorship, I don't want to participate so everybody else must do my bidding because logic! or winning! or something.
It is the weekend and the moderation whiner is back!
Didja skip your meds this week?
