I’ll note that this falls into the realm of highly-uncertain efforts with a significant chance of failure. It shouldn’t be considered as an alternative to ending fossil fuel use, but at most, something to reduce the harm we’ve already caused.

a well written, worthwhile read.
the Atlantic tends to have good writing. It’s important to avoid confusing “good writing” with “full solution” — the two are not in the slightest the same thing.
I’m not sure what you mean. This is in depth, quality journalism on a niche topic within the sphere of climate change. I can’t imagine anyone is trying to parse out a “full solution” from this, and the article touches on the evolving thinking in the community about how this type of work could be perceived as a distraction. The scale of the potential operation is fascinating.
Thanks for posting the article and your work on this community, I often find interesting pieces here I wouldn’t otherwise come across!
