I think we should do everything we can (both reducing emissions and geoengineering) to fight climate change ASAP, but the problem is that a lot of very rich people (e.g. oil companies) are incentivized to not have people reduce emissions & will use the existence of technological solutions as an excuse to only do geoengineering.
We really need both, and as much of both as possible as soon as possible.

The politicians they bought and pay for aren't keen on funding geo-engineering. And if they did, they'd do it out of general revenue, as opposed to a carbon tax.
