Narrowing My Focus

In the post below I have selected a handful of questions from the previous post and have explained why I think they are important or interesting.

Was the U.S. the first country to address geoengineering as a proposed solution for climate change?

• The documentary I watched implied that other countries were aware of chemtrails and aerosol injecting, so where did the idea originate from? How has it impacted how individuals perceive geoengineering? Depending on where it first came from, people may choose to perceive geoengineering negatively.

How significant of an effect has global warming had on more developed countries around the world?

• This is a fundamental question that deserves an answer. How have countries like China and India dealt with a significant increase in greenhouse gases? Are the proposed geoengineering methods only for more developed countries or for everyone? If geoengineering is meant to appeal to a larger array of people, the way it is addressed in the media will likely differ from how it would be if it were only for the U.S..

Has Pope Francis's recent speeches on climate change altered how the public is addressing climate change?

• Geoengineering is still a concept widely unknown to the general public. In light of Pope Francis's visits and speeches on climate change, it appears that the public was left fuming at his words. Maybe now they have become more aware of the proposed methods for combating climate change and how it will affect them.
