“Research” - another term for doing nothing


“Research” is just another term for doing nothing, procrastination.

Climate change is moving faster than predicted and we simply don’t have time to procrastinate, that is do more research.

Writing on ‘Grist”, David Roberts says “In my experience, conversations about geoengineering always go the same way. One side says, “That shit’s crazy!” and the other side says, ‘Yes, but we should still research it.’”

In his piece: “More research” into geoengineering is not such a hot idea” Roberts writes: “There are many reasons it is mad, but the main one is simple: Once you start modifying albedo, you can’t stop, ever, without disastrous consequences.”
