Well this time is different. There is just one planet. Inevitably someone will pipe up that we need planet scale 'Geo-engineering' and faced with a system so far out of control already inevitably someone is going to fund some 'academics' to do something drastic to "save the planet". Problem is in science 99% of the time in complex systems the experiments turn out something unexpected. Odds we'll accelerate doom instead of postponing it are pretty significant. And all that just because we refuse to reign-in a socio-economic system in which the safe and assured solution, abstinence, is impossible to achieve as there is no single party making 'a profit' on it.
