Abstract: In this article, Newsom critiques geoengineering proposals by examining how they reflect a human impulse to exert control over nature; a control that may be illusory. The piece argues that while geoengineering is increasingly touted as a solution to climate change, it brings with it ethical, ecological, and political risks that are often underappreciated, including unintended side effects, issues of governance, and moral hazard. The author calls for more caution, rigorous oversight, and humility in considering geoengineering as part of climate policy.
