Session on ice interventions/geoengineering at #assw2025
At best we are buying time - the schemes proposes require enormous amounts of money and time - resources which should instead be used to reduce global emissions.
Research is necessary, but we need a moratorium on field experiments.

Disappointed to see congress making this a simple matter of mining and dominance in the Arctic - focusing on how many ice breakers it will take to colonise Greenland instead of listening to and supporting the people of Kalaallit Nunaat (who clearly do not want to be colonised by any country).

A constant reminder that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as they did during the pandemic lockdown from now to 2030, we still wouldn't meet our emission target to keep global warming below 1.5°C.
