I don't think it's a bad idea as much as it's a depressing idea. It means admitting we have failed. It means we, as a species and a society aren't capable of doing the right thing for the right reasons. It means our grasp on logic and sanity have failed. It makes me think we are nothing more than an intergalactic plague of locusts who will ultimately consume and destroy all we touch when the day comes that sufficient technology is no longer available to bail us out of the mistakes we've made.
So, sure, go ahead and save the planet with that idea if you want. If that's what we have to do to fix our mistakes and save ourselves from what we have created, don't let me stop you. The problem I have with it is, if that's what we have to do to save ourselves from what we have created, I'm no longer convinced we deserve to be saved. Maybe we should let ourselves burn. We kind of suck.
Eventually we will all burn when the sun swallows the earth.
It's not just us brining though, all the creatures are effected by global warming far worse than we are, if we need to implement desperate measures like this to save ourselves, and by extension others, so be it.
