lysenko is the mansplain manipulate manwhore of genetics and agrobiology.
no, my mind cannot be changed.
...scientists really be like "put simply" and then follow it up with the most incomprehensible, jargon filled sentence you've ever read.
Dear scientists,
Please, for the love of God, please, make your papers more understandable.
Fuck you
Sincerely,
A college student on the verge of tears
geoengineering be like:
no one:
absolutely no one:
some random scientist named dr evil: y'know what sounds like a really good idea? froth the fucking ocean, make meringue earth using CO2.
part of the scientific community: huh... y'know, what if we just... tossed a bomb? but like, into the ocean. in the middle of a hurricane. cuz. that works. 100%
another equally ridiculous part of the scientific community that is like 100% white military men: ...okay, but what if we put frickin hydrofluorocarbons into the atmosphere. yes, it will cause warming. we know. we just wanna. play god.
so. geoengineering. seems pretty fricking cool, right?
and like, in concept, yeah. no, Fe fertilization ain't gonna solve global warming, and it will probably have some wonky ass impacts on nearby marine life, and i wouldn’t recommend doing it, but it’s theoretically very cool! and it's so much more elegant that other CO2 reduction schemes.
buuuuut.
then, you get to other types of geoengineering. and it's like—
toss a bomb into the ocean!!!
froth the ocean.
shoot aerosols into the atmosphere.
put hydrofluorocarbons into the atmosphere.
yeet dry ice into the atmosphere to precipitate snow
like. sir. no?????
