Averting Real Life Enviromental Disasters:
 
#2
We could always spread surfactants in the upper atmosphere to increase albedo.

It's an effect that has already been document quite extensively. There was a marked uptick in average temperatures in the United States in the days surrounding Septembet 11th, 2001.... since there were no airliner contrails in the sky. Natural contrail formations dropped average temperatures by at least a degree. Some degree of global climate engineering should definitely therefore be possible with sufficiently accurate simulations..... all that would be required would be to divert the natural flightpaths of aircraft and alter aircorridors to manage weather and heating.

And it'll drive the chemtrail people wild.

The thing with geoengineering, is that people are reluctant to try it until they're sure it works. And people won't be sure it works until someone goes ahead and tries it.

Dump a few hundred thousand tons of iron filings into the ocean, create an algae bloom, suck up a fuckload of carbon, skim the algae...... boil and refine. Bang, cheap fuel.
