I think we should do a lot more Geoengineering research.

The problem is you can't do so much as suggest geoengineering without getting completely ridiculed because of how politicized global warming research is.

Which is sad since conservation and energy dependence helps now... but Geoengineering helps climate crisises now AND in the future.

Heck it'd help now even for us not in crisis.

At least you get ridiculed. I don't think I've actually mentioned Geoengineering to anyone without getting a blank expression back...

Anyway,

A lot of the Geoengineering technologies have good merit. There are some really good ideas to do with artificially boosting plankton and algae populations in the ocean and create stratospheric sulphur clouds. In Britain these kind of technologies are getting serious consideration by the government and several other bodies, so I don't think it is something to be ridiculed, some of the technologies do have good merit.
