Yeah I just read this, not really sure what the alternatives are now? Looks like the situation is spiraling out of control so...??

Cover Greenland in a reflective blanket?

Sounds like it is time to panic...and actually do what needs to be done.



The time to panic was 1980. We’re well past that point by now, and have already committed to at least a whole degree of warming, if not more.

> Cover Greenland in a reflective blanket?

Ha! I want to see a study on this now. Greenland already has high albedo so it wouldn’t be that effective; it would protect the ice sheet but also be covered by new snow, if any.


The best time to panic was 1980. The next best time is right now.


We should definitely not write for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.


I don’t think I should be writing for anything, and I’m surprised I’m allowed to here!
