In light of the ICPP report, we should incentivize oil companies to help with geoengineering to extend the ice of the Arctic and research on cloud seeding instead of investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure.

I'm with you on no new fossil fuels, clean energy, & energy efficiency. But incentivizing the fossil fuel industry to do geoengineering is putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Geoengineering deserves robust scrutiny & governance, not the sphere of private corporations.

Thanks for considering it. There are very difficult ethical & governance questions around geoengineering, including whether we should go ahead with it at all, so putting the fossil fuel industry at the helm of geoengineering seems ethically & politically fraught.
