From Larry Stoter
Apart from scientific and technical arguments over how to manipulate the climate and its possible, unforeseen, consequences, what about the politics (27 March, p 26)?
Any attempts at climatic manipulation are likely to be expensive. This means rich countries will be in charge and the main player will almost certainly be the US – which will want the climate manipulated in the interests of US farmers. And if this leads to droughts and famines in other parts of the world, US agribusiness will have food to sell.
