There is no necessarily mutually exclusive binary happening here. It could be dangerous to take either option, if those options are reduced to: "do nothing or do GE".
As I keep saying if we don't try and clear up the economic and political systems that are going on here, we almost certainly will keep making things worse. The established powers that basically don't care to change because its too profitable for them to continue to destroy world ecologies, will not change because of patch up technology, no matter how radical. jon ________________________________________ From: geoengineering@googlegroups.com <geoengineering@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Greg Rau <gh...@sbcglobal.net> Sent: Wednesday, 2 May 2018 4:37 PM To: geoengineering@googlegroups.com Subject: [geo] The Dangerous Belief That Extreme Technology Will Fix Climate Change GR - Given our track record with emission reduction and given questionable adaptation strategies, how dangerous is it to believe that we won’t need “extreme technology” to help counter climate change?: https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5ae07919e4b061c0bfa3e794 UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.
