I will always be wary of scientists trying to introduce a foreign element into the environment to fix something. It generally backfires.
I totally agree and I wasn't suggesting it as the solution, but it illustrates that we can do some things to offset climate change.

Shifting the tax burden from incomes to Use systems/polluters etc isnt really the worst concept. You buy something you pay tax, you dirty it up you pay more.
I see some merit in that strategy. I don't think it will affect climate change though. It will just shift who is consuming the fossil fuels to someone else who can either afford it or doesn't participate in the tax.
