This question of whether climate change becomes so bad that we have to do something to dull its impacts and reduce human suffering is a very big one,” says Keutsch, an atmospheric chemist. For many, the mere idea of purposefully intervening in the climate system is problematic and worth shutting down before it gains traction.
