Carbon offsetting is just another form of greenwashing

We already have a solution for the warming and the technology to implement it. Launch sulfur into the stratosphere.

Queue all the green democrats telling me all the silly reasons we can’t do it. Infinitely chasing a perfect outcome.

It’s the only plausible solution to buy us the time we need to advance renewable technology and move from fossil fuels without drastically altering quality of life. And we’ll do it just as soon as green democrats give up on the absurd dream of some renewable utopia just around the corner.

I predict no later than 2060.

So you want to simulate a volcanic induced winter? How many people will that starve?

It will starve zero people, because it's not at all the same as volcano ash.

None, because it doesn’t block sunlight.
