    Summary

    Conclusion: we should not let fossil-companies protect their interest, we need a multilateral democratic regulation of this area BEFORE experiments can start

    Some technologies should be banned outright

    Notes

    • ScoPEx has nominated an advisory committee
    • Geoeng is not testable by nature. Experiments are just design to gradually build up knowledge and resources for a deployment
    🤔
    This seems to be a major argument: can we test geoengineering. I suppose it depends on what you mean by "test". Could not access the source
    • Get out of jail free card for the oil industry
    • Direct air capture is also dangerous + it's financed by bill gates 👿
