These aren’t exclusive options and it’s odd to see them in opposition. Wouldn’t it make sense to geoengineer while we get rid of fossil fuel usage?
I expect it to take 50-100 years to stop fossil fuel usage. If there’s a sudden stop then I think the wars and chaos will result in people who pollute a lot killing off and stopping the people who don’t.

- prepend 4y agoSo what do you think we should do about rising temperature change and the harm that causes? Even if we stop using fossil fuels, models still show a temperature change. What do you propose about that?
