Default New threat to Earth-based astronomy


Unfortunately, we've allowed things to get so out of hand that drastic
measures are probably going to be required. There might still be time to
reverse things without such measures, but I just don't think the
political will is there to really try. So that leaves "geoengineering"
in another 20 or 30 years.

Do *you* have the will? Are you off the grid yet? Is your electricity
green? Have you given up driving a car with an internal combustion
engine? Are you prepared to give up *your* lifestyle living in the
sticks to accomplish the goal of reducing CO2?

Political will comes from individual leadership. In this country, you
*are* a leader. Aside from castigating others for their indolence, how
are you leading?
