We need to artificially reshape the climate system to survive
This position holds that we must artificially reshape the climate system through geo-engineering to survive. It argues that conventional clean technologies cannot be deployed fast enough, and that humans won't change behaviour in time — leaving radical intervention the only realistic option.

- Humans won't change their behaviorsDespite climate change awareness, people have not dramatically altered their behaviors, and are unlikely to do so. Instead of expecting people to change their behavior, we need to act to mitigate the effects of climate change by artificially reshaping the climate.
- It is too late to stop the effects of climate changeNo matter how much we reduce emissions, there will be climate catastrophes, Therefore, we need to artificially alter the climate along with reducing emissions in order to prevent catastrophe.
