Climate Change Makes Global Catastrophic Risks Worse

Technology to change the weather could in turn lead to conflict between or within states over things like induced droughts or rainfall. As it will be near impossible to carry out experiments on a global scale we'd need to act and verify safety of our technology. We think that the 21st century could plausibly be humanity's most important due to rapid technological progress, especially in artificial intelligence. If that's true, we're going to want to be very careful to ensure it goes well.
