Fan Mail
We’re not saving the planet we’re playing God. Geoengineering projects like solar radiation management and aerosol spraying may sound like solutions, but they are reckless experiments with Earth’s natural systems. The long-term consequences to our soil, air, water, food supply, and all living beings are devastating. We’re seeing ecosystem collapse, pollinator die offs, respiratory illness, and soil sterilization not healing. True stewardship means restoring balance, not manipulating nature from a place of fear and control.
