Comment on Warning signs on climate flashing bright red: top scientists

Can we agree we already engineered the climate to be 2°C hotter. Albeit stopping emissions has been a noble goal, unfortunately clearly that strategy is not working. We should still continue to try and achieve it, but why not admit it wasn’t enough and we start geoengineering the atmosphere with Stratospheric Aerosol Injection. Yes it has its problems, yes it is not a long term solution, yes there are many unknowns. But saying we should just try harder with our current strategy, that we should double down even harder is madness defined. This is an easy achievable solution that will be beneficial in the short run. Unfortunately there is just too much benefit for companies and individuals to pollute now and make it the next generation’s issue. Like I said we have already geoengineered the atmosphere to be hotter, let’s replicate volcanos that inject particles into the atmosphere that lowers the temperature in the surrounding area.

Not everyone is going to agree and that is fine, but here is my two cents regarding future solutions.
