Geoengineering refers to the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system to counteract climate change, such as by reflecting sunlight, increasing precipitation, or removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Proponents argue that geoengineering could provide innovative solutions to global warming. Opponents argue that it is risky, unproven, and could have unforeseen negative consequences.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@B2NTXCB1wk1W
No, other countries will get there before Canada and the technology will be easily available once this happenes.
@B2LVC3S1wk1W
Yes, but should have strict oversight over geoengineering projects to prevent risky innovations.
@B2BMK7B4wks4W
Yes, but only with a gradual implementation, & that it is constantly tested & improved upon.
@B29K7YN 1mo1MO
Yes depending on the budget and if the main needs of the country are met first then we can focus on a need that can change the whole world.
@B29HFDLNew Democratic1mo1MO
No, as geoengineering has not yet been proven to address the root causes of climate change
@B228W6V2mos2MO
No, but incentivize private companies willing to do it instead
@9ZZFCJJConservative2mos2MO
if you could control the weather for a day, what changes would you make and why?
@9ZNXRCY3mos3MO
Yes but since climate change is a global issue, they should take it up with the UN
@9W4QTY64mos4MO
Yes, as long as there is enough research and approval
@9VGMJSQ4mos4MO
I believe the should find ways to fight against climate change but not spend to much doing it
@9TYFLTG5mos5MO
No, and we should campaign against harmful geo-engineering globally.
@9TRYYND5mos5MO
Yes, but ensure judgement throughout as to whether that level of environmental meddling & manipulation will have any unaccounted for consequences
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If you could control the weather for a day, what changes would you make and why?
@9TNXGHM5mos5MO
Make it 24 degrees with some clouds in the sky so it's nice and warm but at the same time not too hot.
@9TFQXBL5mos5MO
No, simply, known solutions to climate change should be utilized instead if spending time and money on new research that may or may not get used.
@9TFCZYH5mos5MO
Only fund research into geoengineering as a last ditch effort to combat climate change.
@9FGSKLL 9mos9MO
No, instead, invest aggressively into sustainable renewable resources like solar, wind, and geothermal
@9MW9BY2 9mos9MO
YES, but only if research is not harming the environment.
@9ML75L29mos9MO
Yes but in a way that will not allow lenience in companies to increase their carbon footprint.
@9MKYHZ79mos9MO
Yes, as long as its proven to work and not have any detrimental effects and is regulated by the government
@9SLJBJV6mos6MO
At what point is the research that has already happened be enough
@9RC89847mos7MO
This is a last ditch approach... we need to decarbonize our economy, not allow oil companies to make excuses
@9QZCYDN7mos7MO
That's not the main focus that we should be working on right now, so either no funding at all or maybe small amounts for the future
@B2CMT6Q 4wks4W
No, a government should instead focus on limiting its ecological footprint.
