Jewish Currents: Notes from a Small Planet: Too Soon for Geo-Engineering?
„In summary I think that environmental organizations should adopt a strict “if, then” approach to geo-engineering. “If” we have credible plans in place to draw down our fossil fuel usage, if solar and wind are supported enough to scale up significantly around the globe, if (insert any other relevant societal change here: electric cars, meatless Mondays, etc),[nbsp]then geo-engineering can and should be implemented as a supplement. But if people, in particular politicians, more vocally advocate for technological solutions to climate change, ones with “limited consequences” (to the existing fossil fuel industry), that is a level of magical thinking, and it exists even among Democrats.“
