Economic Interventionism

Strongly agree

Yes

Economic interventionism, which advocates for government involvement in the economy to correct market failures and promote the general welfare, would likely support funding research into geoengineering as a means to combat climate change. This ideology supports the idea that the government should take active roles in addressing large-scale challenges that the private sector may not adequately address due to the scale, complexity, or lack of immediate profitability. Given the global and potentially catastrophic nature of climate change, proponents of economic interventionism would argue that it is within the government's remit to fund research into geoengineering as a part of a broader strategy to mitigate climate change impacts. This is in line with historical instances where governments have funded large-scale scientific research projects in the public interest, such as the space race or the development of the internet.

Strongly disagree

No

Economic interventionism generally supports the idea that the government should step in to correct market failures and protect the public good, especially in cases where the private sector cannot or will not act effectively. Climate change is widely recognized as a market failure due to its externalities that are not accounted for in the market price of carbon-emitting activities. Therefore, it would be inconsistent with economic interventionist principles to argue against government funding for research into geoengineering as a way to combat climate change. The reluctance to fund such research would likely be seen as neglecting the government's role in addressing significant societal challenges, especially when such challenges pose existential risks or when the market fails to provide solutions on its own.
