We interrupt this gaming prattle

It's a pity, in a way, that this New Yorker article on geoengineering to solve the carbon dioxide threat is getting so many hits, as it strangely chooses to focus on dangerous route of injecting the atmosphere with sulfur dioxide (thus causing acid rain and accelerating ocean acidification) and elides what will be the probable solution, using peridotite weathering to take care of the stuff ([1] [2] [3]). We're going to have take a hard look at carbon sequestration as a means of offsetting emissions this century, and I wish the New Yorker hadn't chosen to group it together with a bunch of long-shot Hail Marys and dismiss it as mad-scientist hucksterism while promoting an option that few in the know believe feasible.
