Something that is probably glaringly obvious to chemistry experts, but not to the rest of us, is that CO2 just doesn't go away by itself over many life spans. Every tank of gas that gets burned and ejected into the air is going to stay up there, for a long long time. Heating us in perpetuity.

This is typical of The Economist, which is dazzled by the techno-fix and unable to acknowledge the inability of present or forseeable world structures to provide any limits or governance for solar geoengineering. It may sound theoretically reasonable to just do "a little bit" of solar geoengineering

Here’s the blunt reality — reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but cars can’t be the future of urban mobility. Fewer cars. Less driving. More inviting mobility choices. Better communities and cities. These are the 4 pillars of the REAL urban transportation solution.
