The symptoms are all we care about, why would anyone give a shit about CO2 levels if it didn't cause global warming? It's not like it's toxic. If it's cheaper

It's not like it's toxic. If it's cheaper to geoengineer the CO2 away, why not?
- TillE 13y agoFossil fuels are not a long-term energy solution in any case, so it makes more sense to attack the problem from that angle. And I suspect the answer is that it's not cheaper. I'm unaware of any cheap, scalable, safe method of reducing CO2 levels. It's difficult to conceive of a practical solution to global warming that doesn't involve drastically reducing the ongoing CO2 output. How are you going to balance out 30+ billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year?
