Well i think the weather is to imprecise for us to controll. It's to big a
mechanism. It's a bit like curing cancer with chemo therapy. overall you
maybe can make things work but you kill of a lot of healthy cells in the
process. That can be a bit of a problem when the weather is the cancer and
humans are the healthy cells. It would be a PR nightmare at least.
And what about the ice age. Recent findings from the inlandic ice on
Greenland shows that a new ice age can pop up within as little as 20 years.
Instead of changing the enviroment as we do now when we look at the small
scale, wouldn't it be better to adapt to it. If we can imagine building big
O'Neill type space stations in orbit, and the colonialisation of Mars,
couldn't we imagine doing similar things here on earth. (there's still a
lot of parcels available in Sahara ;-) )
