I know scientifically minded people who view it both as ‘hysteria,’ and for what remains, something that geoengineering can solve in the future.

In other words, look up the WSJ article advocating for fossil fuel production maximization as a net economic optimization in the long term, as basically ‘better to maximize efficiency now, to better geoengineer solutions in the future.’

…I read geoengineering papers. They are horrific, as in “well, in our state-of-the-art-solution, maybe the ice caps will go extinct under acid rain and we’ll have to evacuate millions, and it’s still economically unfeasible, but maybe it will blunt things some?” I’m offended such arguments are being presented.

But I can see where those opinions come from. All the conspiracists are right.
