There are many valid reasons to be skeptical of geoengineering & still a lot of opportunities to address #ClimateChange that don’t involve the uncertainty of tinkering with the planet.
Lumping geoengineering skepticism with conspiracy theorists in a headline is terrible framing.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •Sorry if I'm derailing a bit, but I often wrestle with the question of how much controversy over this topic is owed to Kim Stanley Robinson, given his influential #CliFi novels? I liked this BBC Futures article with KSR from last year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20231010-sun-solar-geoengineering-ministry-for-the-future-kim-stanley-robinson
