"Let's start designing the future that gives us a future"
“… it may become necessary to use geoengineering as humans are resistant to changing behaviour. On that basis, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which demanded urgent global action to stop the planet warming beyond a devastating 1.5 degrees celsius, gives geoengineering research its tentative approval.
The IPCC tries to steer clear of the term geoengineering in its Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5° C, because it views Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Solar Radiation Management (SRM) completely differently. It regards CDR as a climate-change mitigation measure that is incorporated into nearly all of its safe pathways forward.
SRM could "potentially reduce" impact of temperature overshoot
