Combatting climate change through a portfolio of approaches

Given the urgency of deploying all possible ways to combat climate change, and in light of lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak that it was a mistake to ignore signals and not prepare for worst-case scenarios, this article suggests that techniques for removing CO2 from the atmosphere and sequestering it as permanently as possible should be deployed. It also recommends that more consideration be given to research on techniques for reducing warming, and their governance. Preparing does not mean implementing. Not preparing on the motives of risks is a mistake. This piece elaborates on IRGC’s report on governance issues on climate engineering.
