"Research into unproven technofixes isn’t a replacement for eliminating emissions, even if the debate over geoengineering is stuck on that concern."

"As world governments grapple with the need for carbon dioxide removal — a set of climate tools deemed necessary by the U.S. Special Climate Envoy John Kerry — the EU approach to policy design offers important lessons for other governments looking to responsibly research and deploy carbon dioxide removal."

Murray, Emily G.; DiGiorgio, Andrea L. (2021): Will Individual Actions Do the Trick? Comparing Climate Change Mitigation through Geoengineering versus Reduced Vehicle Emissions. In Earth’s Future. DOI: 10.1029/2020EF001734.

"This paper considers how one individual action (reducing carbon dioxide emissions from gasoline‐fueled private vehicles), when adopted at a global scale, may have an effect that is comparable to the effects of geoengineering. This paper also argues that the role of geoengineering as a safeguard against climate change may be encouraging complacency and reducing motivation for individual action."

"Much like the trolley problem, geoengineering would have a massive accountability dilemma. Any positive action that still leads to calamities will come under heavy scrutiny, so each new disaster would easily be blamed on any prior meddling."
