Cut carbon emissions to zero tomorrow and we’re still in a great deal of trouble. Earth is a lagging system and the damage has been done 10 times over.

I don’t blame anyone for looking at radical solutions. We’re not putting out the fire by putting the wood back in a pile.

What about blaming people for grabbing an assortment of different non-wood, non-water objects and throwing them on the fire?

There’s obviously some need to experiment to see if we can find solutions, but historically our track record for engineering complex systems has not been great.
