My normative argument is twofold:
1) we don't have the time to dither around with the latest silver reflective fads. If the climate models are correct, we must act now.
2) we already have the technology to solve the problem at scale, we merely don't have the money. The technology is nuclear power. We don't have to worry about the real estate for solar and wind.
The biggest problem is rolling back the nonsense nuclear power scares from the 70s. The second biggest problem is who will fund, build, own, audit, and operate the plants.
Wrt solar and wind, they require an ungodly amount of real estate per watt. They see untenable as a primary source of power as a result.
