There is nothing that geo-engineering can do to save the world. There is no silver bullet to unleash unlimited growth, unlimited carbon outputs, unlimited domination of nature. What is going to happen will be a full intanglement of a problem. Beside possible side effects (if we block the sun, what happens to growing seasons?), who will pay for these giant factories? What will we use to build them and transport the parts cheaply when there is no cheap fuel?
Sounds like a bad case of the guerilla monkeys. (somewhere there's an SNL skit of Tim Meadows for mayor of a small town where he brings in guerilla monkeys to defeat the killer bats)

didn't you like the plankton one, though? But yeah - I agree ... if this is where we're headed ... we're really screwed.
