    Or, if instead of reducing emissions, we try to geo-engineer our way out of global warming, screw it up, and create a real snowball Earth.

      As opposed to geo-engineering our way into global warming like we have been?

          No, I’m just pointing out the fallacy in your comment that carbon emissions aren’t geo-engineering or that reducing carbon emissions isn’t either. Also that any actually geo-engineered solution, as per your definition, is going to be far less effective than the literal centuries of concerted effort to destroy the environment.
