Global warming is nothing but a math equation at the end of the day. Change the input value, change the result.

Earth isnt a machine, we cant just fix it like a broken machine. Earth is a body with a fever due to CO2 intoxication. We need to let Earth lash itself back into wellbeing, without our invasive engripments.

Let Musk handle it.
