How to Fix a Climate Emergency was extremely insightful and provided information for an alternative to fighting climate change. However, the author, very lightly, touched upon the side effects and potential for disaster.

Great story. Perhaps a follow-up story could be about climate change engineering's dark side.

Very interesting take and abstract ideas discussed. Catches the readers interest.

China is digging our grave for us. That is the first place to start if you want to cut carbon emissions DOWN. But apparently money in their pocket is more important than the people's health. This geo-engineering option to help cool the climate sounds far fetched and out of a science fiction movie. I seriously believe that it would take more time and effort and possible have undesirable effects in the long run. I wouldn't screw with mother nature, she might retaliate.

This story shows many ways to fix the climate, but not much about what the outcome may be by taking the steps to do so. What may be interesting is if the story went more in depth on the after math the steps taken to change.
