Geoengineering isnt necessarily bad. Like they've done artificial extensions to coral reefs to maintain them in the face of sea level and ocean acidity. However, it would really only work in conjuction with a massive reduction in carbon output (something capitalism seems incapable of). And so if we get desperate enough to try large scale solar geoengineering, not only is it a geopolitical nightmare to enact, but it could cause unforeseen side effects around the world.

the thing that fucks with me the most is how easy it would have been to stop climate change all together like 20 years ago.
