They are disregarded not out of ideology; they are disregarded
because the global warming denial industry has succeeded in
obfuscating the science so that people think there is great
uncertainty about the problem. Of course they are not going to do
anything about a problem they are not sure exists, and certainly
not anything so drastic, and whose consequences are as difficult
to predict, as geo-engineering.

There are a couple of very interesting proposals on that front
that are dismissed without proper thought. Global warming can
kill us all, but so can energy shortage.
Hi Brent,
Why is it that almost all of the Green proposals are exactly
what would be required to push civilization back to the Stone age,
once implemented fully?
And those would be what? Solar power, geo-thermal power, tidal
power, wind power, liquid thorium reactors - which exactly do you
see as stone age technology?
Hemp.
(pun included).

Frankly, I worry more about the impending Ice age which is about
over due if the cycle that we see in the Vostok icecore data is real.

Maybe you wouldn't be so worried if you noticed that CO2 peaked at
300ppm on all those warm cycles and it's now at 390ppm and climbing
so fast it's just a vertical line on the above time scale (unlike
the previous cycles). Or maybe you're just part of the denialist
industry.
