Health and Societal Consequences of Geoengineering

"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."  – J. Robert Oppenheimer, 1965 NBC interview on the decision to drop the bomb for the Trinity Explosion
