Well… IMHO trying to solve our climate change issues with geoengineering seems similar to the USA trying solve their gun issues by putting even more guns in circulation. Does not fix the root causes and I don’t see how it can work long-term.

And that's an entirely reasonable stance that as far as I can tell is the consensus among climate researchers. But it logically implies that the narrative of climate apocalypse is not true - that nature is capable of self-balancing within the parameters industrial civilization throws at it, and that our current climate trajectory is mild enough that it's not worth pursuing some potential solutions if their side effects look too serious.
