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.

@9ZNGPNR5 days5D
No, as we should focus more on understanding the processes before investing in engineering strategies.
@9ZMM8LL6 days6D
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
@9ZHHRQC2wks2W
Yes, so that if needed there are other options for fighting climate change aside from cutting emissions.
@9ZCGS4D2wks2W
Yes, but it should remain at a research stage until a full public consenus is reached
@9Z9WN572wks2W
Yes, given that proper research is conducted in order to evaluate the currently unknown effects
@9YML7Z32wks2W
Yes, but vary it based on how well the research is going, and allow funding to be pulled at any time
@9MS7TY76mos6MO
Yes but funding for mitigation strategies should be prioritised
@9WRG7DK1mo1MO
Yes, after more research into the possible impacts of geoengineering
