GEO-ENGINEERING:HELPFUL OR HARMFUL?

Scientists are considering to use geo-engineering to help reverse climate change. But the question is; Is it truly going to help us or will it simply make things worse? Geo-engineering is when we use science and technology to help reduce heat and control weather system on Earth. But from previous experiences, controlling Mother Nature never ended well. Also, geo-engineering is a really experimental thing and hasn't been tried all around the globe. It might be argued that some forms of geo-engineering have been tested in certain places or in laboratories, but if geo-engineering is taking place somewhere else where factors may change, the method of geo-engineering might give a different result, possibly a bad one. To make matters worse, geo-engineering is costly. Some can cost millions of dollars!

So what can we do instead? It's simple!

Instead of using geo-engineering to fix the climate, let's do it in a bit more 'natural' way. Reducing plastic, cleaning your community, discouraging illegal logging and poaching, and creating less pollution are all ways to stop Global Warming. Reforesting forests will play a big role too, as trees help a lot with controlling the climate, and since trees have been rapidly disappearing, the climate has been changing. If we all make an effort, and I mean every single one of us, we will be able to stop climate change.
