A significant problem with a lot of geo-engineering/carbon dioxide removal ideas is that they go like this:
1. A lecture about how meddling with the planet has caused massive problems.
2. A second lecture about how meddling with even more things (previously unmeddled with) is going to make the situation better.
This highly interventionist approach, treating the Earth as something to be improved, rather than to be understood and fixed- this IS the problem. #climate #geoengineering #CDR
