Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the statement from paragraph 1: "If demonstrated to be safe, geoengineering could temporarily cool the planet and give more time to tackle the root cause of the climate crisis: the burning of fossil fuels."?

A. Geoengineering is a permanent solution that will eliminate the need for addressing the primary causes of climate change.

B. Provided its safety is confirmed, geoengineering might offer a short-term cooling effect, providing a crucial window to address the fundamental issue of fossil fuel combustion.

C. The primary goal of geoengineering is to completely stop the burning of fossil fuels by cooling the Earth's surface.

D. Geoengineering is a risky approach that could delay essential actions against climate change, without solving the core problem.
