I've long been thinking geoengineering is the most likely way for humanity to survive this mostly unscathed.

And this scares me a lot. The technology makes nuclear weapons look like pussies. Letting 1 country control who has which weather where is unacceptable for almost any country.

We need global cooperation to the point of becoming 1 huge global superstate, or we're having all out wars between the most powerfull nations of the world, while dealing with climate change at the same time.

And that's making the assumption that no mistake is made, with a completely new technology field, and mistakes easily killing millions of people.

As we saw in the Gerard Butler documentary "Geostorm."
