How do you expect things? How do you know your models are accurate?

Pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is the definition of geoengineering. But you say we cannot predict geoengineering results. A climate catastrophe is upon us, and we know that reducing emissions is not going to happen, is crippling economies, and we don't know the outcome anyway.

Why are we not studying alternatives to GHG reductions? They may actually work, and the will probably cost a lot less. It's time for all options on the table, follow the science and the economics. Or is it not really such an emergency after all?

Comment Intel didn't build the fabs (Score 1) 153

There was a change in management and the former management wanted to build fabs and the current management wants to cut back.

Federal government paid Intel to build fabs. As they're not doing that, taking the money back is reasonable.

Intel is complaining about the money being taken in stock. Alternatively it could have been taken in cash which intel would have had to put as debt on its books. I think the stock is easier for them. US is also trying to build a sovereign wealth fund. 11 billion of intel stock is a reasonable addition to that.
