I would agree with that but what you post above won't happen in the current political climate. Politicians aren't even talking about the real cuts needed or on any time frame to get it done. So to me that means we need the backup plans proven and implemented immediately. I still think that reducing emmissions and more importantly perserving resources is important but it would be much more efficient to implement these cuts over say the next 100 to 200 years rather than over the next 40. If geo-engineering can give us the breething room to painlessly implement the solutions then it should be persued.
