We've been accidentally geoengineering for decades...but then we stopped:

SO2 actually (very temporarily) cools things down by seeding clouds and creating sulfuric acid aerosols. That's not, like, /good/, but by making more clouds (and also decreasing the size of droplets in clouds, and thus increasing their number) more sunlight is reflected to space.... #climate

Who should 'own' magazines? Federated infrastructure but user sovereignty: a “third way” between federated and P2P networks?
