Critiques of Geoengineering

Critiques of geoengineering highlight concerns about unintended environmental impacts, such as disrupting ecosystems or weather patterns. There's worry about who controls these technologies and the potential for misuse or unequal effects across regions. Also, geoengineering doesn't address the root cause—reducing greenhouse gases—making it a risky, temporary fix. Critics emphasize the need for careful study, international cooperation, and ethical considerations before deploying such methods, to avoid causing more harm than good or giving a false sense of security in combating climate change.
