Hypothesis: Our planetary boundaries are much higher than is normally accepted, mainly because those who calculate planetary boundaries in the first place tend to have a conclusion before their work is done (why would I look for planetary boundaries if I thought there aren't any yet that we have met?). I aim to write about this in the future, after I independently look at planetary boundaries.
As for SO2, many environmentalists are scientists. They are not realistic. They want more and more science, which takes decades. They don't do anything in the meantime. That's not how you solve a problem. You solve it by iterating on solutions.
1. Study.
2. Looks good? Do a small test
3. Looks good? Do a bigger test
4. Looks good? Release at scale
5. Looks good? Keep going
Instead of
1. Study
2. We learned a bit but there's so much we don't know! Study more.
