Fascinating post, @irastra. It is obvious that you are very passionate about geoengineering and the impact it has on the planet. It seems that, in some cases, manipulation of the weather could bring great benefit. For example, creating rain in areas of drought where crops are failing and animals perish due to lack of water. However, a change in one system inevitably creates changes in others, and not necessarily for the better. In my example, other animals may move to the newly "watered" area, only to perish if humans do not continue to manipulate the weather in that same area. Those animals may have been better off where they were and, over time, could have adapted to changing conditions. It's not all that different of a chicken-and-egg argument as seen with selective animal control. Thanks for the thought provoking-post.
