6. pengu is right, I'm afraid.

All the proposals I've heard for the remediation of global air- or water-based problems suffer from three difficulties.

-They tend to be several orders of magnitude smaller than the scale of the problem;
- The proposed solutions introduce new problems of their own that tend to be as bad or worse than the original problem.
- They are politically unfeasible, The problems are international i scope, but every proposed solution would disadvantage some nations at the expense of others. this makes international agreements very contentious.

That's the nature of complex systems.

On edit: This is one of the most emotionally difficult aspects of our situation. We have created problems for which there may in fact be no fixes, and where even slowing down the onset of the problem is going to cause other problems for people.
