Get ready for countries like the US to "take on the responsibility" of altering the world's climate and fucking it even further.

How anyone can think that our world will not severely fuck "geoengineering" the planet is insane.

    Talking about geoengineering schemes is the advanced stage of climate denialism. Theyre all purely conceptual and if they ever are viable won't be available for decades at the earliest. Its all a bullshitting tactic to avoid talking about the extremely radical socio-economic measures actually necessary to avert catastrophe at this point. But those measures are completely at odds with the structural forces of capitalism and class interests of the bourgeoisie, and therefore even if our political leaders had the will to campaign for them they are literally incapable of contemplating them in the first place. Its literally unthinkable under a neoliberal ideological hegemony.

      Much better worded summary of what I was thinking. Its literally outside the realm of understanding for the people on top. They have to entertain scifi solutions years off from now

      I want to believe in things like this to avoid getting consumed by doomer thought. I believe miracle technology is more likely than systemic change so even though I know it's mostly fantasies, I want to believe in it to preserve my mental health.
