  9. Geoengineering Discussion • Is geoengineering a solution to the climate change problem? Or, is it a last-ditch technique? • Is it still necessary to research geoengineering? • Are there any of Robock's 20 bad ideas that stand out, or seem out of place? • What is the public's role in geoengineering? • Should the U.S. fund geoengineering research? If so, how? • When would it be 'right' to implement a geoengineering technique? What steps need to be taken before the implementation? Who implements it?
