I had to stop reading!
They are working on how to induce global warming? We actually have the technology to induce an ice age? COOL!!! We are this close to actually be able to "play" God.
And we thought nuclear weapons in the hands of dictator tyrants was dangerous!!!????

This reminds me of how I do risk assessment. There are three factors:
1. What is the likelyhood of a thing happening.
2. What is the impact of the thing happening.
3. What does it cost to ensure prevention.
Based on the answers to the above questions, I believe the proper course of action is to do nothing.

Will they enact the Montgomery Burns solution from the Simpsons or the Captain Chaos solution from South Park?

I propose shooting environmentalists into orbit, each with a roll of Renolds Wrap - they can open all 150' of the stuff and reflect substantial amounts of sunlight away from too warm earth.
Most of these foks are so technologically savy that they will buy this as a solution!

Look for new smoke-and-mirrors (literally!) taxpayer-funded 'research' grants.

"What if they turn th temperature down too low and we have global cooling?" They could always put a magnifying lens in place of the mirrored lens and scorch the earth. That might raise the temperature a bit (too much).
They all think they can do a better job than God (the original designer).

I hope they do what I did, my wife keeps changing the thermostat so I put another one elsewhere hidden hooked up to the heater and left the old one as a dummy, otherwise the women on earth will keep complaining its eather too hot or too cold.

We can just use some deep earth penetrator on all the active volcanoes... that should fix everything right up!
To: Thrusher
That's what the book/mini series was about. Getting what you asked for, but not what you wanted variation on the Law of Unintended Consequences.
