Geo-engineering is, at best, a last ditch effort. It's a nice concept, and I have to admit some of the ideas do sound quite apealing as a solution; but the risks involved with most geo-engineering ideas are far too high for serious consideration yet. I'd wait a few more years.
Some ideas, such as artificial carbon trees, are a low risk approach and these may be worth consideration now (even if they cost a bomb). But ideas such as seeding clouds and so on are probably not worth going for yet because they are high risk, and I think this is typical of most geo-engineering ideas.
It's something we can do about global warming if it gets too bad in the future and the risk from warming is larger than that of geo-engineering, but it's not worth taking seriously yet.
