This warming rebound would be larger and more sustained should climate sensitivity prove to be higher than expected.

HAHA brilliant lets play with something we don't fully understand nor fully understand the potential consequences of such actions.. what is the worst that could possibly go wrong.
the introduction of cane toads to take care of pests naturally was a brilliant idea too.

Yup. More modelling required. Exactly what I said.

Where is the modelling? All over. Here's a start:

These proposals have generated a lively and fruitful debate within the scientific community and the public at large about the cost and practicality of various geoengineering technologies, as well as possible unintended side effects of their use. Intellectual Ventures hopes to play a constructive role in this debate as a source of innovative technical ideas for solving some of these issues. We have funded research in this area—and are encouraging others to do so as well—because it would be irresponsible for the technical community to postpone such work until a climate emergency was actually underway. Intellectual Ventures does not advocate construction or deployment of geoengineering systems now, and we hope they will
never be needed.
you would think there would be ongoing recent "modeling" .
ok maybe not so much climate but mans attempt to control nature

It sounds like Bill Gates is providing the money. Isn't that what this thread is about?
But the claim is that he is encouraging experiments. I don't see where that is shown.

That's because he's funding others to do the research.
I don't think he's a climatologist.

So is agriculture.
After feeding hamsters for two years over three generations, those on the GM diet, and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet, showed devastating results. By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies. They also suffered slower growth, and a high mortality rate among the pups.
And if this isn’t shocking enough, some in the third generation even had hair growing inside their mouths a phenomenon rarely seen, but apparently more prevalent among hamsters eating GM soy.
