ROME – For some it might sound like science-fiction, and for others a way to counteract what they regard as fake science. Yet many countries in the world have come to see “geoengineering,” also known as “climate engineering,” as a solution to the impact climate change may have on their nations.
Catholic layman Gary Gardner is a senior consultant to Green Faith...Speaking with Crux in Rome last week after attending a study session ahead of October’s Synod of Bishops on the Amazon region, Gardner said... he’s “preaching” on the issue together with colleagues and over 1,000 scientists who work with the United Nations,
Crux: Can we actually engineer the climate?
Gardner: That’s exactly what’s being planned...
Which can also be translated into “playing God with the climate” …
That’s why our last report was called, “Playing God?”...
What can religions do?
... I’m preaching about this is because one of the scientists at Harvard who wants to reflect away the solar rays is starting tests ... I was at the [Vatican’s] Dicastery for Integral Human Development, and... we insist on reductions, and that we don’t begin the testing until we can actually link it to reductions in emissions... as Pope Francis says, the Amazon is one of the lungs of the world.
