We may already be so deep in the uncanny valley of geoengineering, so to speak, that we're past the point of no return and our only chance for survival is to take control of the unintented consequences of human civilization with intentional large scale action. At this point, the losses we've seen so far and our predictions seem so bad that it may be worth the risk of even more damage to gain valuable experience in geoengineering that could be eventually used to turn our planet around.
