I find this terrifying. First, we don't know that there is global warming. Second, do you really think it's a good idea to screw with the atmosphere when we don't even know if it's getting warmer? I could just see them missing some variable and making things worse. Don't fix it if (1) it's not necessarily broken and (2) if you don't know how to fix it.
