None of the fixes you mention, just giant hoses pumping sulphur into the upper atmosphere and solar-powered boats crossing the oceans to kick up spray. Also tubes to carry warm surface water to the bottom of the ocean.

I haven’t read Superfreakonomics, but if the authors repeat any of the following tired, incorrect and long-debunked arguments then they are simply bulshitting. Not lying as such, just uncaring about whether anything they say is true or false.

“CO2 used to be higher when the dinosaurs were around”?
“It’s the sun”?
“In the 70s scientists expected an ice age”?
“the world’s been cooling since 1998″?
Do they, at any point, call climate change a religion?

Further, do any of their ‘fixes’ to climate change involve geo-engineering solutions such as harvesting CO2 out of the atmosphere (CDR) or Solar Radiation Management?

I have a complete Geoengineering report – a proper scientific report written by 16 actual scientists with contributions from 89 others and 25 organisations and reviewed by a panel of another 7 – from the Royal Society on my hard drive. Do the authors reference this report? Do they reference page 75, where in the conclusions they say:

“None of the methods evaluated in this study offer an immediate solution to the problem of climate change and it is unclear which, if any, may ever pass the test required for potential deployment, that is: be judged to be effective, affordable, sufficiently safe, timely and publicly acceptable.”
