It's a bit puzzling to hear such an opinion from an entrepreneur. The problems on this road clearly exist, but it's so unclear that those problems are unsolvable. For example, > which organization would decide for all of humanity - we have UN, and while many would criticize it for slow or clumsy actions, it's still a venue. Prototyping - which is a reasonable intermediate step - could also be done under a scientific organization, like those studying atmosphere and oceans. > the risks from destabilizing our world even further and then having no 'undo' button Technically risks always exist, in practice humanity does new things often and for long time. The structures in space could be removable, so at least that part should be clear. > High tech solutions like this will only be used to postpone the inevitable need for real action This sounds like an old grumpy. We're actually doing real action, for many years already, it's just not as much as ourselves would like to have when looking into results. And yes, we need and we're going to do more - and this high tech solution is a good example of that. Why should we limit ourselves looking for solutions? > they are more likely to make matters worse than better. There could be very different opinions, and there's no explanation why "will only postpone" and "make matters worse" - so it looks like just an opinion, of somebody who either lacks imagination to see alternatives or numbers to support the opinion. > The developed part of the world needs to get its emissions under control and needs to curb its consumption. The rest is a sideshow. Again, no clear explanation or reference why such a dismissive approach. Of course we need to solve problems. And the lack of action - while enough talking - demonstrates that the problem might be bigger than somebody thinks. We learn of our limitations, but limiting options to solve an important problem looks like adding to those limitations, not overcoming them.
