Detailed report on the use of solar geoengineering

Setting out on a major geo engineering project is a folly or a cynical PR greenwash - maybe both. Anything to avoid change of entrenched interests. We already have a highly viable path to transition to Renewable power while optimizing all sorts of sustainability loops.

This is a great article. I'm glad to see this sentiment is finally starting to gain traction:

>She fears that the rising dangers of climate change will put growing pressure on nations and other actors to move forward with solar geoengineering, even if no one has done the necessary research to reduce scientific uncertainty and sort out the technical challenges.

>“We don’t think the alternative is decisions not happening at all,” she says. “We think the alternative is decisions being made in a panic or on lack of evidence.”

Unfortunately the article ends on that point and we don't get the rebuttal of the lofty idyllic academics or fearful policymakers.
