'Theoretically, rogue billionaires could afford to at least start changing the climate on their own. That’s the premise of the science fiction novel “Termination Shock,” which inspired Iseman to found Make Sunsets in 2022.'

@sundogplanets Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

@NatureMC It's too bad the UN doesn't seem to actually be effective at much anymore because it seems like they have to be the ones to regulate.

@sundogplanets @NatureMC I just happened to finish this podcast this morning, so it's at the top of my mind that, unfortunately, the UN was never meant to regulate any US business or activity in any decisive way: https://ap.podcastindex.org/episodes?id=157191&statusid=06b5c630-cea0-40fc-8656-e5d9a930b9d2&resource=public
Now, the UN has, in fact, been a force for good, especially for its budget - but if there was ever a time to reconsider taking world leadership away from the US & pivoting to international regulation with teeth, it would be now...
