I do believe that something like what you’re suggesting is going to be necessary to avert the total collapse of civilization as we know it. However, the part that trips many up, including myself, is that what you are proposing is a last ditch effort which should be taken after all other reasonable steps have been taken. I think we’ll get to the point where that discussion is necessary, but first we need to do what we can to limit emissions. If we don’t then we’re just going to give those with the power and influence to make changes an excuse not to.

In short, we can’t even get the world to agree to address the problem in a reasonable timeframe. That step has to be behind us before we start seriously considering geoengineering in pretty much any form.

I think they do that at my company too but in addition to not reporting phishing emails I have a personal rule that I don’t do any “mandatory” training unless someone in my management chain specifically asks me to. My boss probably gets annoyed by that occasionally but you’d be surprised how much of that stuff I never get asked about.

My company sends at least one fake phishing email a week. They track stats for them on a security page and I wear it as a badge of honor that my report says 100% viewed and 0% reported.
