I mean, don't we already know the cheap, half-assed solution? (And therefore the one we'll take?) Eventually someone will start solar radiation management, and we'll plod along like we always do.
- lumost 4y agoGeo engineering solutions have been proposed for a while. They were particularly popular in the public imagination back when there was fear of a new ice age. They are less popular now given the belief that there is something we can do to change our CO2 emissions. I suspect the next major climate conference will include discussion on this topic given the present effects of global warming and our inability to control carbon emissions in any region for the last 30 years.

- hotpotamus 4y agoI didn't say it was a whole-assed solution.
- ncmncm 4y agoNot any sort of solution. CO2 polluters would just pump out enough more that they would make no difference. But stopping them after that would be disastrous.
