Perhaps it's just as well. It's not really clear to me that good science is guiding this. The Best and the Brightest of the Oborg seem to be more into global engineering that would profit cronies instead of simply controlling carbon emission pollution.
Global engineering would at best only hide not solve the problem, and will require increasing perturbations with unknown consequences. You don't treat your world as a test tube especially if your inability to accurately forecast the ramifications of your actions has already created the greatest mass extinction event since the end of the Mesozoic.
