The unambitiousness of modern geoengineering in general is dismaying.
For my Australian perspective: in the early 1900s there were people discussing how make use of the massive tracts of desert wasteland than make up most of the outback (ie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradfield_Scheme). None of this stuff could be considered today—one tree getting chopped down is liable to make the news: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-54700074
Hard to escape the conclusion that we should all go lie in a ditch so as to guarantee that no impact to anything occurs ever.
