There would be a lot of ideas that would be much easier to pull off.
And I'll agree that we don't really know what the future temperature will be, and I think that there are other things that are more important than stopping global warming. But, the temperature needs to stay within a certain acceptable range.

maybe i had misunderstood you when you posted that. the impression i had was 'lets look into it.' the article itself promotes a 'worst case scenario only' picture. i defiantly think we should look into all options, but by no means does that mean i think we should act on it unless absolutely necessary. after all, you wouldn't knaw your arm off under normal circumstances, or even difficult ones, but if you're going to die because you're arm is trapped under a rock in the middle of no-where, you'll lose the arm to give yourself a chance to live.
