We are incredibly vunerable to any variation in output that our sun may
shine on us.  Compared to a 1% or 2% shift in solar radiation, anything
civilization can do is inconsequential.

Suppose we manage to act effectively to reduce global warming, and then the
sun goes into a low output mode.  This could cause a terrible ice age that
we would have otherwise survived if we hadn't reduced the earth's
temperature.  My investment strategy works this way all the time.  The
stakes you propose are much higher.
