Like climate change seems really easy to solve if we just plant a bunch of jojoba bushes in the Mojave desert.

Also it’s the easiest thing to get the billionaires on board. Argue we are learning how to terraform Mars and suddenly Bezos and Musks’s meats would be spinning.

    Are you being deliberately obtuse right now, or just firing from the hip as the comments come in? The topic of this sub-thread is examples of successful and sustainable terroforming and how indigenous practices count for that. How is your comment a good response to my previous one?

      the second one. Anyway, you're not being clear on the metric of success. I was suggesting light and heavy as signifiers because one is far more devastating and requires more power. To bring in the idea of successful is unclear, as the altering of the environment in modern america and europe sure has achieved its goals. If you mean sustainable that still doesn't really convey what is going on, as damming rivers is sustainable for the local region but screws the people downstream over more.

        sorry for getting remove-happy there, I shouldn't end a chain over getting petty frustration at some random point, carry on (comments restored)
