There are several issues around this including economic recession, 'pressing priorities' and what can be called 'song and dance' by certain emerging economies about their role to cut from their top polluting status. Geoengineering has diverse issues, known of to certain extents and postulated. Studies like this confirm past ones and add up. Geoengineering may never be deployed on a large scale, but discretion says we should prepare it like we will. “but there’s a lot we can do today that we are avoiding doing because we believe technology will save us” you think that confidence in technology (or geoengineering) is the reason for ignoring global efforts to mitigate GHG emissions? that’s somewhat incorrect.
