I have been studying systems theory recently, and “interconnected nonlinear changes” is always code for “wildly unstable”. It’s not usually even possible/feasible to control these changes, so people who believe that Geo-engineering will save are probably being delusional.
Agreed. I’ve always read geo engineering to be up there with carbon capture as bullshit.
Even the “modest” cloud seeding or reflective crap in the atmosphere had the addendum of making enormous chunks of the global south unlivable. Which makes them read more as fantasy implements of mass genocide than anything remotely palliative.

Geoengineering is just another version of “we’ll invent some future technology that will solve all of this.”

I implore you to not dismiss carbon capture as a whole as bullshit. Don’t let crackkkers make you think it’s a magic “solution”
I love the concept of geoengineering, but it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to not address the problem
