Climate Scientists - Geoengineering vs Low-Tech & De-Extinction

Journo request for climate scientists! Working on a story about the Future of Earth, and one focus is on the tension between high-tech and low-tech/natural solutions to climate change -- the idea that either we can or cannot innovate our way out of the climate crisis.Can geoengineering and other innovative technologies prevent the climate apoclypse, or are they simply a scam and distraction from emissions reductions? Interested in thoughts on genetic modification/resurrecting extinst species also. Looking to interview scientists in either camp. Get in touch.
