There are concerns that geoengineering, a potential solution to the climate crisis, could be used as a weapon or trigger conflict. Some outlets suggest that geoengineering could lead to a "climate war", while others discuss the geopolitical implications and potential risks of using the environment as a weapon. The possibility of geoengineering being used for military purposes or exacerbating existing conflicts, such as the Ukraine-Russia border dispute, is also being explored.
