Pleased to see @theguardian.com run this thoughtful series examining climate interventions: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... At a time when climate risks are accelerating and public discourse on potential interventions remains largely polarized, these commentaries offer timely nuance and depth.
It's time to talk about geoengineering | The Guardian
<p>As the climate crisis accelerates, carbon emission reductions might not be sufficient to lower global temperatures swiftly enough. In that scenario, geoengineering may be necessary – but the public...
