At least Klein understands that types like Caldeira and Keith are clear 
when they explain that geoengineering is not an alternative to emission 
reduction.  Her reasoning now seems a step ahead of where she was when she 
argued that the ocean she looks at from the window of her Pacific Northwest 
home is no longer the same because 100 tonnes of iron was dumped into it by 
Russ George.  

Her argument that only a radically transformed capitalism can solve the 
climate problem dribbles away as she asserts that what's needed is the 
application of a few trillion dollars.  Congress committed to spending on 
this scale while establishing the beacon of democracy that is today's Iraq, 
and it did so while reducing taxation.
