Accountability Lets plant trees, promote plant / animal ecology, farm seaweed and marine phytoplankton. Other risks Disruption of weather patterns, rainfall, monsoons, hurricanes, all leading to potential food shortage Uneven effects leading to regional drought and famine, geopolitical tensions Dose not address root problems, it’s a single feature intervention Starting and stopping effects Who decides Unknown longer term effects, ozone layer, air quality, ecosystems Redacted geoengineering interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kOglqhcsfo&t=255s Learn more about your ad choices.
