Some call it hubris; others call it cool reason. But the idea that we might combat global warming by deliberatelyengineering a cooler climate – for instance, by constructing some kind of planetary sunshade – has lately migrated from thefringe to the scientific mainstream. We are already modifying climate by accident, say proponents of geoengineering; why notdo something intentional and intelligent to stop it? Hold on, say critics. Global warming shows we understand the Earth toolittle to engineer it without intended and possibly disastrous consequences. Both sides worry that facts on the ground – risingseas, melting ice, failing crops – may cut short the geoengineering debate.
