Comprehensive Article about Geo-Engineering (The Atlantic)

[JFDee]

Alexander C. Kaufman nicely sums up the state of SRM advocacy and opposition, including a mention of the chemtrail conspiracy theory.

This September, in a study published in the journal Frontiers in Science, more than 40 experts in climate change, polar geosciences, and ocean patterns warned that geoengineering was extremely unlikely to work and likely to have dangerous consequences.

As the actual predictions for Earth's future have become more dire, scientists are starting to agree. More than 120 of them signed on to a response to the Frontiers paper that argued that more research into geoengineering was, in fact, "urgently needed."

Sigh.... the curse of terrible illustrations on articles about geoengineering strikes again.

This is a modified version of a stock photo captioned "Airplane spraying insecticides over a farm field". Which lazy picture editor thought a photo of a crop duster flying a few dozen feet over a field was a good way to illustrate this article?

I sincerely hope that any steps that might be taken in the future depend upon a solid scientific analysis, and NOT on a political position (Donald Trump has said, and his acolytes agree, that climate change isn't happening) or a billionaire's investment portfolio.
