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.

It's genetic engineering all over again:

A: "I don't think companies should use seed patents to enforce monopolies and monocrops"
B: "Loool get a load of this conspiracy theorist loser, worried about dNa and cHeMiCaLs, don't you know there's also DNA in conventional food!?"

"I do think they could have done a little more research on that vaccine before imposing it on everyone."
"Oh, so you are a flat-earther!"

My own just-made-up conspiracy theory is: oil companies use conspiracy theorists for defamation of valid concerns.
I bet it would be effective.

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
