What if cooling the planet isn’t just about cutting emissions, but about reshaping the environment itself? In this episode of Entropy Rising, Jacob and Lucas break down the real science behind climate engineering — from solar shades positioned at L1 to sulfur aerosols, cloud seeding, carbon capture, ocean fertilization, and even the far-future idea of nudging Earth’s orbit with gravity tractors. They explore what’s actually feasible, what’s risky, and how these technologies could shape not only Earth’s future, but the climates of Mars, Venus, and any other worlds humanity might settle. This is climate control at planetary scale: the science, the tradeoffs, the engineering, and the long-term consequences we can’t ignore. If you’ve ever wondered how civilizations move from reacting to climate change to actively controlling their environment, this episode is for you.
