Calling absolute BS on this one. Just by comparing “multiple Eifel towers” to just the amount of metal we use for e.g. screws is negligible. Leaving aside all other metal we have extracted, may extract and would never be able to extract.

Uh, how’s what you’re saying related to putting tons of metal in the ionosphere possibly being a bad idea?

Not saying it isn’t a bad idea. But it will do fuck all with the magnetic field of the earth.

Based on your assumption that because screws, which notably aren’t in the ionosphere, don’t affect the magnetic field, neither will putting tons of conductive material in the ionosphere?
