CAJ Geoengineering - Narratives

How can Geoengineering change the life of an average Joe in 2039?

Here are two stories which can illustrate a future with Geoengineering:

After Joe woke up at this special day, he drank a cup of coffee on his terrace as usual while he enjoyed the morning sun on his skin. He looked up to notice that the sky was marked by endless chemtrails creating a spiderweb and big, white clouds. Joe realised that he had not seen a dark or even light grey cloud for quite a long period of time. With this thought in mind, he dressed up and made his way ahead to the technical university, it was his very first day. He refused to join his friend in the car as he didn’t had to worry about carbon anymore. He arrived just in the nick of time because he couldn’t find a parking lot. Apparently every student enjoyed driving with his own car instead of taking the bus. He entered the building and couldn’t believe what he saw. The Geoengineering department was overcrowded with students trying to save a seat in the lecture room. Joe was determined to study. He wanted to become one of the leading scientists for further Geoengineering techniques.

Joe was extremely excited to experience the Sahara Desert again, after 30 years. His tourist group left the city and made their way ahead to the desert. While they were riding in the suffocating heat, John noticed in the distance a vast tree plantation. He could not discern the end of it and thought he was experiencing a fata morgana. But this was not the case. He realised that it was true what he saw. Joe was shocked when they rode further and further until they came quite near to the plantation and had a proper look at it.  It immediately occurred to him that he had read an article about Geoengineering just a few days before he had departed to Africa. He tried to remember some of the Geoengineering techniques which were explained in the article. Thinking about it, he looked in the sky which was marked by the endless lines of chemtrails. He didn’t know that Geoengineering measures had been implemented already.
