I wish geoengineering played a much larger role in the conversations around global warming. It seems we're never going to wean ourselves off of petroleum, and most efforts to meaningfully curtail its use are politically untenable (outside of Europe that is). I think if people who believe in global warming are serious about solving the problem and not just hand waving about driving less and turning off our lights, then they'd start devoting some serious attention to geoengineering. (Note I'm not poking at a straw man in the paragraph above. Check out the NRDC page on global warming solutions [http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/solutions/ http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/solutions/]. I see a lot about restricting pollution and remaking our lifestyles, but NOTHING at all about geoengineering.)
