Hack the planet!

Geoengineering is such a cute term. Let's call this what it is -- active terraforming. (As compared to the non-active terraforming we've been experimenting with for some time now.) I suppose getting practice here before Mars is, uh.... no, it's just completely insane. Oh well. Onwards and upwards!

It's not be non-active, it's just been unintentional, or accidental? Errr, not-deliberate, as in, not-thought-out or considered.

The idea of requiring an global-scale machine to counteract our pollution is pretty scary--especially when a short-term failure of the system could cause significant and sudden shifts climate shifts.
