Adding to the climate’s problems

-

If geoenginee­ring becomes a reality (Greg Foyster, “Particles of faith”, March 18-24) and indeed works to cool the planet, what incentive would there be then to reduce our carbon emissions? It could be seen as business as usual, to keep ramping up our sulphate spraying in the upper atmosphere in an escalating cycle of eventual destructio­n. The answer to humaninduc­ed climate change can never be to increase our environmen­tal footprint, only to decrease it.
