Proponents of modifying the ocean to battle climate change have rising hopes for their biomass sinking plans, but critics fear the environmental impacts
I don’t think that all geoengineering, in the loose sense of the term, is without merit
Just to clarify that geoengineering is something very specific, there is no loose sense to it. It’s about humans intervening on large scales on the planet in an effort to balance out what capitalists have done to the earth’s climate. Its unintended consequences are to many, on too many levels, to be predicted and this is the main problem.
The solution in relation to the climate crises is to phase out fossil fuels. Capitalists promote geoengineering because it creates new business opportunities, and in the same time it shifts the conversation away from them and what needs to be done.
