摘要

If climate crisis is a relational crisis, then geoengineering technologies and practices cannot be fully assessed without being understood relationally. This essay explores the relational dimensions and dynamics of responding to climate change with geoengineering in/as multispecies community under colonialism. It begins with two meaningful punctuations before turning to an exploratory case study—the pond on the author’s family farm. Among the messages conveyed are: (1) there are ethical, political, epistemic, and pragmatic reasons for thinking that any decision to enact geoengineering must rely upon multispecies dialogue and justice; (2) a pond is never just a pond.
