Geoengineering cooling concepts to counter heating due to emissions is one thing, but even when we commercialize fusion and it becomes extremely cheap to purchase huge amounts of emission-less electricity for high heat and pressure of industrial activity (exponential ramping up of metal&mineral smelting/welding/stamping/cutting/shipping) - all of this activity will be a significant source of heat.
The less toxic atmosphere of a terrestrial-based Type 1 civilization would still require planetary cooling mechanisms.
