Geoengineering refers to the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system to counteract climate change, such as by reflecting sunlight, increasing precipitation, or removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Proponents argue that geoengineering could provide innovative solutions to global warming. Opponents argue that it is risky, unproven, and could have unforeseen negative consequences.
@ISIDEWITH9mos9MO
Yes
@9ZLG8NZSocial Democrats3mos3MO
It could have unintended consequences and humans should not interfere with the climate in that manner.
@9MS7TY78mos8MO
Yes but funding for mitigation strategies should be prioritised
Yes, if it is proven that a result could be achieved, then decision then could be made to implement it
@9ZW5PTV2mos2MO
It would be good but there are more urgent matters to attend to such as housing crisis, homeless crisis
@9ZTY35R2mos2MO
Absolutely not! Also, planes and airline companies flying over our airspace should be inspected and their fuel and exhaust/CONTRAILS they leave in/over irish airspace, independently tested for anything other than by-product of engine combustion. Geoengineering happening in our sky's, but destined to effect weather in other countries, still effects our well-being, mentally, and agriculturally by changing our sunlight and skies
@9ZNGPNR2mos2MO
No, as we should focus more on understanding the processes before investing in engineering strategies.
Yes, but only processes/interventions that can be reversed or are not permanent should be allowed eg. Cloud seeding only when required to treat drought conditions or CO2 removal through something such as digital trees
Yes, so that if needed there are other options for fighting climate change aside from cutting emissions.
@9ZCGS4D3mos3MO
Yes, but it should remain at a research stage until a full public consenus is reached
@9Z9WN573mos3MO
Yes, given that proper research is conducted in order to evaluate the currently unknown effects
@9YML7Z33mos3MO
Yes, but vary it based on how well the research is going, and allow funding to be pulled at any time
@9WRG7DK3mos3MO
Yes, after more research into the possible impacts of geoengineering
@9NSBV4S8mos8MO
No, research has shown we are better at focusing on mitigation and adaptation to climate change
@9NF4K2R8mos8MO
Only if it refuses to put any effort in anywhere else
