Ken Caldeira writes, plausibly, that: "for most, researching 'geoengineering' is an expression of despair at the fact that others are unwilling to do the hard work of reducing emissions". NPR aired an interview with David Keith a month ago: Keith spoke of something else: "* we're* *hiding a genuine*, *and I think not-wrong joy* in the fact that we understand something about the world that potentially gives us the ability to do these things".
I wonder if a researcher, in despair after finding patients would not follow his direction and be cured, could find joy after discovering the potential of palliative care. Types like Klein might have a better chance at understanding what is going on if people didn't "hide" anything.
