It's cool bro.
I was pointing out that there is no amount of mining or quarrying that will have an impact on the moon's gravitational pull (which is what affects tides and such)
While sending moon dust into space to cool earth temperatures shouldn't be plan A for dealing with climate change (that would be eliminating fossil fuels, etc.) It's not the absolute worst plan B. And in order for us to have a viable plan B, we'll need to investigate and research it.
It seems that the more progressive minded redditors have a bit of a kneejerk reaction to investigating plans other than reducing fossil fuel consumption. I'm just saying, two options are better than one. Climate change is a tricky issue, and we probably won't be able to eliminate fossil fuels fast enough, without a precipitous drop in quality of life.
Anyway, I hope your shit day improves, or at least I hope tomorrow is better

Sure, those could be likely problems, but every idea starts out half baked. Some out of the box thinking is probably needed to prevent climate catastrophe. Maybe this is it, maybe something else. The only way to figure that out is by investigating ideas
