If there is anybody who sees Indian domestic news and/or articles, could you tell us whether there is any political impetus there to start spraying climate-modifying aerosols at high altitudes regardless of effectiveness and/or international opinion, or if it's completely outside of the Indian overton window?

Was this comment inspired by Kim Stanley Robinson’s Ministry for the Future, or is this a case of life-imitates-art-imitates-life?

What is right and wrong? US killed millions of Iraqis and Afghans, yet Europeans still support the US, is it because Europeans are slaves and the US is master or is it because brown lives are worth less than white lives?

To stay on point ... a good partnership depends on shared values, which may (and probably should) extend to similarities in what is viewed as right and wrong. If you cannot agree on that, or negotiate and compromise on that right or wrong, or influence your partner when you think things are going wrong, then ... it's not a partnership.

To stay on point by your own definition is there a slave master partnership between Europe and US because US kept killing millions of Iraqis and Afghans and Europe also shares those values or does Europe not share those values yet still keep partnering with US because they need US protection against Russia?

> people still don't like using public transport Because most public transport sucks, is unreliable, only works at certain hours, is dirty, unsafe, and covers only a small ridiculous amount of space limited to key cities. No wonder. The pandemic will only make public transport less desirable as well.

So you are looking for a free magic solution? I mean, I like houses made from big stones but it is probably cheaper to paint an existing house, instead of tearing it down and replacing with stonewalls.
