Geoengineering as a means to slow climate change is one of the most contentious subjects in the field of climate science.
Along with being heavily debated within the scientific community itself, the topic is divisive among the general public.
Geoengineering describes the human attempt to halt the effects of climate change using technology.
The idea was first introduced during the Cold War but only became popular in 2006, when a Nobel Prize winning chemist named Paul Crutzen published a paper advocating for an "escape route" from global warming by artificially manipulating the atmosphere to counter C02 emissions.
Over the past fifteen years, experiments have been conducted to understand how this type of technology, like artificial clouds for example, could be developed and eventually deployed.
But it's currently illegal to facilitate any sort of geoengineering at a large industrial scale, because no one fully understands what effects it could have on other parts of the environment.
This is just my opinion.
