On the other hand "One unfortunate consequence of that (political controversy surrounding GE) is that early, small-scale research that could help us understand more about whether these things would work, what risks they would pose and how you would do them most effectively, isn't really getting done," he (Ted Parson, an environmental law professor at UCLA) says. "And that's really quite a risky situation.
"Because if we find ourselves in a situation where climate change gets really bad, and we're desperately looking around for something to do to make it less bad, if we haven't done the research at that point all we'll have is a set of kind of untested, un-risk-assessed, undeveloped options that are kind of crude to throw up in a hurry," he says.
