That's what worries me. When it comes to tweaking the environment humanity 
has a history of fucking up royally with the best of intentions. Neal 
Stephenson's 'Termination Shock' make the case that when you start 
geoengineering there will be winners and losers. 

Back in the '90s when 'global warming' was still current Pournelle & Niven 
had a novel with the theme that the only thinking holding off the next ice 
age was anthropogenic global warming. I forget the title.
