Result #3
You invested money into both carbon abatement and geoengineering tactics. You did fair amounts of
testing before implementing geoengineering methods, but still took some calculated risks.
Flash forward 100 years:
You ruled out extreme measures like mass ocean fertilization or atmospheric aerosols. Thanks to
conservation and alternative fuel research, developed countries emit less than 15% of the carbon
dioxide they once did. Solar and nuclear energy have been implemented in a large scale across
developed nations. Efforts have been made on the front of biological carbon sequestration, and
agricultural management has improved: large amounts of carbon are being restored in soils, removing
carbon dioxide from the environment. On the front of abiotic carbon sequestration, carbon dioxide is
being pumped out of the atmosphere and into large rock formations. This is still being done on a small
scale, as the effects are not fully known by scientists yet. As a whole, the planet is moving steadily
towards a net carbon emission of 0. While climate change still affects the Earth, it does so at a much
slower rate than it once did. Results of geoengineering so far look promising, and hopefully soon
humankind will be able to reverse some of the effects of climate change.
