We spent $6 trillion on the “War on terror” [0]

We do know we’ve had mini ice age as a result of "Grand Solar Minimum" [1] (in addition to volcanic activities) which means reducing the solar output does reduce surface heat.

At this point we need to really focus on taking action an approaching this from many facets. As cutting of greenhouse gases alone will not work. It requires the entire globe (at least the G20) countries to invest in such endeavors.

At this point we need to really focus on taking action an approaching this from many facets.

Right now, we're effectively lying about how much action we're taking in just one facet. Adding "many facets" just allows those who fail to make hard choices to hide their bullshit in more places. Only once there are strong controls on carbon emissions could doing other things make sense - not just because carbon emissions are the source of the problem but also if we allow geoenigeering to be done to the standard of "carbon credits" and other worthless hokum, it too will be hokum. We need something - a popular political movement, strong institutions, a coalition leaders, something - that force this stuff 'cause the failure is now and visible.

Anything that is not cutting CO2 input to the atmosphere brings global climate catastrophe, civilization collapse, and mass extinction nearer.

Dressing up temperature helps not at all, but makes it look like something is being done as it steals capital from doing anything actually useful.
