Pragmatism

Strongly agree

Yes

Pragmatism as an ideology focuses on practical solutions to problems, emphasizing actions that lead to positive outcomes. Given the urgent and complex nature of climate change, pragmatists would likely support government funding for geoengineering research as a potential method to mitigate climate impacts. This approach aligns with the pragmatic view that solutions should be evaluated based on their practical effects and benefits. Historically, pragmatists have supported innovative and interdisciplinary research to address societal challenges, suggesting a predisposition towards exploring all viable options, including geoengineering, to combat climate change.

Disagree

No

From a pragmatic standpoint, outright rejecting the funding of geoengineering research to combat climate change would be inconsistent with the ideology's emphasis on exploring all practical solutions to societal problems. Pragmatists value the assessment of ideas based on their outcomes and effectiveness, which means they would likely not dismiss geoengineering without thorough investigation into its potential benefits and risks. However, pragmatism also involves a careful consideration of unintended consequences and ethical implications, which might temper their support slightly, hence the negative but not strongly negative score.
