And the first bone setters and medicine men killed a phenomenal amount of people as much as they helped, and solutions were terrible until the modern methods arrived on the scene.

Similarly Humanity has been inadvertently geo-engineering the planet.

Modern techniques are here, and they tell us that the best way to treat the patient is not via geo-engineering.

Look my point is cynical and its not about climate science.

MUCH More importantly I am saying that it is the kind of pseudo-science-hope-springs-eternal-last-ditch-effort that people LOVE to support.

Its a product in itself. That is what I am highlighting.

I believe that Climate engineering/geo engineering sits at a special hype junction, a future sweet spot that is going to be irresistible to politicians, media types and lay people who are scared and desperate.

And YES - I hope and keep my mind open to the possibility that we find good tech that helps reduce global temps which is not "pollute less".

This would truly be a magic bullet which would let us continue to grow as we have for so long, while stopping the effects of climate change, and it is something to earnestly hope for.
