The title is misleading, the people here are advocating for studying the issue/technology not for implementing it (yet).

  And if they start advocating, it will be to implement it using other people's money. Some support.

  Title seems accurate to me: "Scientist Support an Idea...". Doesn't mention implementation.

    "Support" implies that the it's a good idea to be be pursued, contrasted with "once thought outlandish" (it's still outlandish, but possibly less worse than the alternative) in the clickbait headline. The content of the article suggests that scientists have concerns about the long-term effects and that we need more research so we better know our options, and that it's no substitute for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, not that it's a good idea that just needs development of a solution.

      Supporting an idea doesn't mean supporting it unconditionally and to the exclusion of all other ideas.

        I would still say in this instance they support researching the idea, not they support the idea.
