> It seems to me that the climate change will be totally solvable by releasing some random gas into the atmosphere. No need to fret about it. Yeah, what could

  Honestly, if they choose this option, they surely will run a bunch of simulations before it, unlike the current path, when they are just randomly substracting gases from the atmosphere.

    In addition to the likely high costs and predictable negative side-effects, one could extrapolate from the article title that climate engineering could also have unpredictable negative effects. Making big changes to a complex system that we do not fully understand seems very dangerous to me.

    Well, they "randomly subtracted" a gas that they were previously "randomly adding". In fact, even "subtracted" is wrong - they randomly stopped adding a gas that they had been randomly adding. They did not run a bunch of simulations before randomly adding the gas.
