I've always thought there is a chance the world could work together to mitigate global warming and control climate. It will take a lot of science, a lot of modeling, and, of course a lot of money and resources. However I think the total amount of resources expended to mitigate global warming might be less than the cost of the damage that might be done.
Climate engineering ideas no longer considered pie in the sky - latimes.com:
The sad thing is that work and even discussion of climate engineering is somewhat suppressed because of the fear that even a "slight" hope that science could rescue the world from global warming would significantly reduce the minimal efforts the world is making to reduce production of greenhouse gasses.
