Artificial Clouds To Cool Qatar World Cup Stadiums

[YankeyMCC]

As an engineer I appreciate the idea and design, but this is a sad reminder IMHO of the fundamental dysfunction that causes the environmental and climate problems we face today. Instead of living with the climate and environment we insist on changing it to fit our perceived need for profit and do things like build cities in deserts and host large events and expect to be comfortable and waste even more resources, no matter how green they try and make these things, to make things suit our comforts and profits.

Yes every creature influences and affects the environment as we should as well. It just seems at some point in the agricultural revolution and definitely in the industrial revolution we stopped working with the environment and started working against it to make it fit our ideas.
