Why is there no “controversy” about destroying the planet, ongoingly with petroleum products?
Genuine answer: This is controversial because it is to intentionally alter the climate. We use fossil fuels for energy, not to alter the climate. The climate stuff is a negative side effect of fossil fuels.
Once you know the side effects of something, if you continue doing it, that’s intentional. So I don’t think that distinction makes much of a difference.

First thought I had reading that article was “soil salinity.”
That’s not how precipitation works.
Didn’t that just happen with the Tonga eruption? I guess they wouldn’t be adding all the water though.
Tonga pumped water into the stratosphere, not just the troposphere.
Well, they’ve pulled the plug on it. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/us/alameda-cloud-brightening-climate-change.html
