Stop polluting and plant trees.

Rocketing giant mirrors is not only stupid but also temporary.

    You are not wrong, though everything is temporary. That is not a reason to not try and develop new technologies and methods to solve problems.

    The error is in the focus; we have some tested and tried methods we should apply before we work on the far future stuff, indeed.

    There was never any need for any rocket science. Stop Oil, move to renewables, go vegetarianish. We have all of that now. We’ve had most of it for decades.

    By that logic there is pretty much no need for anything in modern society. Heck, no need for humans to exist at all. Yet here we are, innovation is in our DNA. Better to be real about it.

    That’s your logic? Goddamn.

    First of all, define “being”.
    Then define “real”.
    And lastly, define “it”.

    It seems like you might have skipped a few steps.
