Almost looks like the makings of a Schrödinger's cat experiment. 🫣

Perhaps working in a department that occasionally does applied glaciology work has mellowed my ideals. We’re definitely going to have a delightful chat, next time we see each other!

Personally -- as we launch into the AR7 cycle -- I'm a little disenchanted with just writing reports and watching the cryosphere dwindle. I'm at least open to a conversation about intervening to reduce ice loss. Of course, acknowledging many caveats mentioned in the video! 😕

I just checked with ChatGTP, apparently if we offer Florida to the sea-level gods, then the rest of world’s coastlines are off the hook. Pros and cons TBD.

I’ve spent way too much time wondering why supraglacial streams meander — it’s not like there’s a balance between erosion and deposition, like regular rivers (ie Mississippi) 🤔

The funding drum is always beating indeed. Perhaps the private sector funds it through sea-level rise offsets? 🤔🌊
