Geo-Engineering: Strong Incentive and Great Danger
I have written about the subject of this post, climate change, frequently in the past, and shall also do so this time with a different spin, the hyphenated word in the title of this post.
Climatologists get a bad case of the cold sweats when someone suggests this solution, because they believe that the humans that caused climate change, will just make things worse by trying to engineer the climate more than they already (unintentionally or otherwise) have. I am hard-pressed to disagree with them.
However, I also believe we are just starting to see major effects of climate change, and these are likely to get much worse over time. If geo-engineering has the potential to give us more time to stop pumping greenhouse gas (GHG) into the atmosphere and start to draw down the concentration of GHG we have pumped in already, we need to bring it to the table, and start evaluating it.
