Dirigisme

Strongly agree

Yes

Dirigisme, a French term denoting an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, often involves significant state intervention in economic affairs, including funding and directing research and development in sectors deemed vital for national interest. Given the global and potentially existential threat posed by climate change, it aligns with dirigiste principles for the government to actively fund and guide research into geoengineering as a means to combat climate change. This approach is consistent with historical instances where dirigiste policies have supported large-scale scientific and technological projects, such as France's investment in nuclear energy during the mid-20th century under the Messmer Plan.

Strongly disagree

No

Dirigisme inherently supports the idea of government intervention in critical sectors to achieve national objectives, which would logically include combating climate change due to its significant implications for national security, economic stability, and public welfare. The ideology's emphasis on state-led initiatives and strategic investments to safeguard and promote national interests suggests a natural inclination towards funding research in geoengineering as a proactive measure against climate change. Therefore, a stance against government funding for such research would be largely inconsistent with dirigiste principles, except perhaps in cases where the effectiveness of geoengineering is in serious doubt or if alternative state-led solutions are deemed more viable.
