As humans we like to think that we can control effectively however it's clearly not the case. Something like geo-engineering while certainly possible to study certainly wouldn't be able to understand the ripple effects. Its tantamount to releasing a a non-native species into the wild to control another species will creating another whole host of problems. Geo-engineering is just that on a larger and potentially more deleterious scale.
