It may not be cost effective today, but it may be later.
There are bigger threats out there than the current climate change. Antibiotics losing effectiveness is one, yet is seems like almost all countries in the world still ignores that fact.
- JoBrad 10y agoThe pro is that it is a single thing that we can do no matter who believes what. The negative is that it allows us to bypass one problem of pollution (climate change) but does noting to address the problem itself, which has other side effects that also harm humans.

Antibiotics losing effectiveness is one, yet is seems like almost all countries in the world still ignores that fact. I'm not sure antibiotic resistance is a greater threat to humanity than global warming. Sure, people dying from simple infections and pretty much all surgery becoming very risky is bad, but humanity has survived for thousands of years without antibiotics. We've never experienced a 5+ degree increase in global temperatures. Relying on unproven climate engineering seems risky.
