I would doubt that would ever come to fruition. I agree Chase – these are just ideas being loosely thrown around. I would doubt that would ever come to fruition.

Any fool knows that the Sun's light doesn't just give us heat, but also gives us photosynthesis. Altering the amount of light available for plants to use would almost certainly have dire unintended consequences. Blocking the Sun’s light to cool the Earth is a BAD idea.

C02 sequestering, specifically by putting C02 miles under the ocean floor, seems the least likely to work long term. In a world that is constantly shifting, and has volcanic activity, what will keep the C02 where they want it? THe amount of money used to finance such a project, plus the likelyness that it will work, plus the possible negative fallout from such a project, seems like too great a risk. How bout we find a better way to utilize the C02, or transform it into something useful? Science still has a long way to go to solve the problems created over the last century.
