The National Center for Policy Analysis presents a policy discussion of geoengineering alternatives, including reforestation, atmospheric sun screens, and ocean iron fertilization.

Therefore we should explore alternative mechanisms, such as geoengineering, although it must be done in a way to does not reduce the incentive cut emissions.
