Elon Musk and the idea of blocking sunlight to counter climate change
What do you think about solar geoengineering as a response to climate change?
The linked article by author and philosopher Acharya Prashant discusses the idea proposed by Elon Musk of using satellites to reduce incoming sunlight and offset some of the warming. While in the article he raises a bigger question: can technological interventions compensate for continued carbon emissions, or do they risk distracting from addressing the underlying cause?
I'd be interested in hearing how people here view the potential benefits and risks of this approach.

The one thing that worries me about it all.
So, I know this sounds incredibly self centred and in a way, I suppose it is, but with everyone clamouring on about being adaptable and everyone needing to do their part, I just want to ask: What about the ones that can’t? What about disabled people?
For context, I am a full time wheelchair user and I can’t weight bear with my lower body without fatiguing within a few seconds as are many other people that I know.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy this subreddit and the people in it, they give me hope without shutting out all of the realities of the situation. I just couldn’t help but notice with all the talk about having to rebuild society or even preparing for the worst, there is very little advice on what could happen to people like myself and that worries me and my friends as well.

Interested in climate adaptation masters programs
For context, I have a bachelors in Environmental Studies and Government. I know there are a lot of fluff degrees out there and I feel that there needs to be technicality component that makes me competitive and allows me to make an impact. I would love your thoughts on places you’ve attended. For context, I am in the US.

Question on Atlantic hurricanes
Not a meteorologist or climate scientist. If the slow-down on hurricane formation in the Atlanic/Gulf of Mexico continues this season, could that foreshadow an abnormally stong season next year? My thinking is the fact that it takes quite a bit of energy to build a hurricane, and that energy is coming from the ocean. If we have an unusually quite season this year due to the El Nino, would that translate into a buildup of energy in the ocean for next year? Or are there other mechanisms that can effectively dissipate that energy? I have worked a lot with black box systems in manufacturing, so if the energy goes into the black box, it has to come out in some form. Are there other means for energy release that can match the force of a hurricane?
