As annual emissions continue to rise, global temperatures could increase by 5.5°C by 2100. This alarming potential has raised the question: what is Plan B? Geo-engineering presents a scientific approach to manipulate the Earth's climate in order to counteract the effects of global warming. However, it raises significant questions across environmental, economic, political, social, and moral dimensions. Are the potential dangers of geo-engineering too great? Do the benefits outweigh the risks of ongoing climate change? Can geo-engineering truly save the world?
