One thing I don’t think their is enough experimentation and discussion around is geo-engineering situations to delay global warming.

At this point at a minimum we should be piloting injecting reflective materials in the stratosphere but it keeps being delayed based on fears around ethics and moral hazard. It’s the same type of thinking that holds back nuclear.

It doesn’t solve things like ocean acidification and it certainly will have affects that are not known on weather patterns but we need to act now.

We know that the world will not limit emissions to prevent 2 C of warming. We are failing. Battery, Power, and Carbon capture tech needs a little more time to get installed and used widely.

We need another 10 years or so of time and geo-engineering provides this.
