Even if we achieve full decarbonisation, the damage already done won’t go away. This would be a last resort, though because no matter how much research you do, it’ll never be possible to really predict what would happen.

One nice thing about these sorts of countermeasures is that if they turn out to have bad side effects it’s easy to just stop doing them.
