Summary
This article discusses the practical engineering challenges of geoengineering as a climate solution. The author reflects on how geoengineering is often perceived as a relatively low-tech approach, partly due to small-scale guerrilla experiments by companies. However, a deeper look by colleague James Temple reveals significant technical hurdles that make the prospect of cooling the planet much more complex than commonly assumed.
