I think an aspect slightly overlooked thus far here is the inherent uncertainity involved with any geoengineering project.
The fact is that mankind has never intentionally tried to alter this planet in such a way as is being proposed. The feedback in the climate system are poorly understood at is so assuming we have the knowledge to change them is dangerous.
Recent proposals for geoengineering projects have included lines in the them of;
"The large scale implementation of this project will affect global weather paterns, currents, temperature and precipitation in unknown ways. Further quantification of these effects is required"
It's hardly viable to even begin to think of these as workable options at this stage.
