We can absolutely stop it. But it requires a geo-engineering approach that still is too much of a taboo. Solar radiation management gives us a “pause” button that buys us time to get our shot together. Iron fertilization is another approach. Geo-engineering does not take trillions of dollars. It’s well within reach of a single billionaire for the case solar irradiation and of a dedicated group of millionaires for iron fertilization.
