> If we can, why shouldn’t we? If we could, i.e. had the means and could know all the side-effects, then maybe; why not. The thing is, we are nowhere near such capabilities. People who think so are simply misguided. Perhaps in some distant future, but my bet is still on adaptation rather than some global climate regulation scheme that is forever likely to go horribly wrong. >cooperation with what? I meant human-to-human cooperation. Climate change will for the foreseeable future result in migration pressures, either because a city has sunk into the ocean or previously fertile farmland turned to desert. In history this has so far solved this by military means, I'm simply advocating a more civilized approach.
