Is the boat on fire or is Suz reeling in a halibut?

Sometimes I take a break from climate work to fish. On March 31, 2019, I wrote "The problem is greenhouse gases are invisible, and solution is to require by international law fossil fuel emissions in all countries be immediately colored purple the same way rotten egg scent is added to natural gas to alert homeowners to danger of leaks.  This way people can see what humans are doing in local real time to build social, political, economic, and legal will necessary to reduce emissions and preserve a livable planet.  The truth would no longer be silenced in some areas, with building catastrophic events in others, because it would be in everyone's face every second of every day [. . . .] To increase albedo, make it a nearly white purple.  [. . . .] My idea, while expensive, is not insane. What is insane is doing nothing significant to reduce emissions."

No world governments, as far as I know, took my advice.
