It’s a lot easier to shield electronics tbh. Some of the issues we still experience with mars is water, food, keeping the astronauts sane both in transit and on mars, and the perchlorate in the Martian soil. Another big issue is there’s no real point to making a city on mars right now, so without a purpose it will be difficult surmounting these huge problems.

The shielding we currently use in space is the earths magnetic field. Astronauts would be likely to get a lethal dose of radiation on the way to the mars cave base.

Yes our predictions are wrong and we still need to figure out how to block radiation from the sun before we can send a person to mars

Reading all the agreements would take away more time from my life than losing a kidney

Absolutely not because even if a single nuke gets through then it’s a catastrophe with a death toll in the tens of millions of lives

Why can’t you leave the leaves where they are?

Safety razors give a better shave than 5 blade disposables

Yeah that’s a global problem being solved globally.

I dunno man, people have greater ability to solve local problems than global problems.

What temperatures does rubisco break down?

Also those were mangroves too so planting those is also about managing floods and reducing erosion, not just co2

Maybe but we already dealt with that shit before didn’t we

We gotta do both frankly. I hear carbon sequestration would work by planting trees and then cutting them down once they reach maturity. Then you burn the trees for energy, capture the carbon from burning, and bury it along with the ash. So we do need to plant the trees. That is definitely an important part of fighting climate change.

Honestly I think trees do have the potential to address climate change by moderating temperatures, providing a moisture in the atmosphere, sheltering wildlife and people from heat, absorbing water, and creating rain.

Trees are great for the environment, I think they are worth it. The mass of tree leaves are pretty small compared to the mass of the wood and roots.

Sounds like an orchard

Even if only 2 percent survive out of a million then that’s still 20000 trees. And they will make offspring. It would be better if it had a higher success rate but honestly it’s not uncommon for many saplings and seedlings to fail. That’s why trees and plants produce thousands of seeds and not just a few

What do you mean, we can’t halfass a solution to climate change
