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.

Yes, but these should be carefully vetted to limit potential negative effects and used in conjunction with an green energy - not a replacement for green energy.
@9MJTP4G1yr1Y
Yes, but with caution and careful consideration of potential risks and benefits.
@8K92DLG 1yr1Y
Yes, but major research and tests need to be conducted to affirm that we are moving in the right direction, and not furthering our current climate change concerns.
@ChaseOliverLibertarian 1yr1Y
The best way to combat climate change is by reducing taxes and artificial barriers to entry so that incentives for innovation allow the market to provide solutions,
@9V7DV4B12mos12MO
We should research it but it needs to be heavily careful and experimental to see if it is even safe for our climate
@B5X329R3mos3MO
no focus on lowering greenhouse gas emissions as there can be unintended consequences with geoengineering
@9ZKPQXZ10mos10MO
Not yet. Instead, fund the research to see the other unintended consequences to the environment that they could pose. If the downsides are little-to-none, then pursue it further.
@9L4Z23B 1yr1Y
Yes, the Department of Interior should engage in P3's to research geoengineering and other ways to combat climate change
