In this scenario who might benefit and who might suffer?

Us People will benefit, citizens of the whole world will benefit from Geoengineering. Geoengineering will help to counteract climate chage, the government will earn billions and people will have jobs. But it will backfire to us which means there are certain consequences, for example what will happen it if stop? will it affect everything, will it cost typhoons and other natural disasters or just simply improve the whole world.

Who would hold the power in this scenario?

I'm very certain that the Government will hold the power of Geoengineering. No individual will have the certain money to build and run the whole project. The government will simply use their extra budget to build the infrastructures.


Could this new technology help to improve or could it worsen the state of society?


There are points that we people can benefit from Geoengineering. This is not a matter of money, this is saving our planet. First of all it will help counter act global warming and climate change. Some scientists predicts that the polar ice caps will melt in 20 to 40 years. Maybe it will slow them down to find another answer for our problems.


Could humanity as we know it change?



Yes humanity would definitely change in my opinion. We will not be so scared of the world ending and the climate will calm down and not fluctuate as much, meaning that the weather will be more stable and storms not as extreme. Also if they do Green the desert there will be more crops and food for the desert countries that need it like Ethiopia. As well if we plant more trees we will reduce the CO2 levels in the atmosphere, also if we pump the excess CO2 underground the Ozone will slowly but surely return back to its original state and the temperature of the earth will go back to normal meaning that we wont be so hot.

Ryanel's comment : If we've messed up the climate by pumping bad stuff into the atmosphere, maybe we can undo some damage by pumping some other stuff up there too.
