Letter: On the divisive issue of climate geoengineering (2)

Published 4 August 2021

From Eric Kvaalen, Les Essarts-le-Roi, France

Paul Whiteley says seeding the ocean with iron will simply allow fossil fuel companies to keep their business models and politicians to avoid decisions. I’m not really in favour of such seeding, but even if we do drastically reduce our use of fossil fuels, we will still have a problem of too much carbon dioxide in the air, for a long time. We should find ways to reduce it.
