I am not aware of any single policy that can solve climate change by itself. What policy do these experts support? Let’s say it is to eliminate all coal power stations in the world by magic. That is at best 20% of global emission, so isn’t that policy synergistic with geoengineering? To think your favorite policy is competing with geoengineering, that policy should be capable of solving 100% of the problem, but I am not aware of existence of any such policy whatsoever.
Doesn’t have to be a singular thing. The policy may consist of multiple ideas, this doesn’t change the reasoning.
Geoengineering as an approach competes with reducing carbon emissions as an approach, in a sense that the more effective is geoengineering the less important it is to reduce carbon emissions. If you believe that reducing carbon emissions is very important you naturally believe that geoengineering isn’t very effective. Mind you, it doesn’t even have to be faulty reasoning.
