Here&#8217;s a sampling of what Chris says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nResorting to geoengineering cannot be viewed as anything other than a failure on our part. The problem we currently face is not just about the possible impact of rising sea levels and changing weather patterns. The more fundamental issue is our species&#8217; mad dash to consume the energy and mineral resources produced by hundreds, if not thousands, of millions of years of geological activity in a mere century or two.
