Isn't that solution a bandaid?

Geoengineering imply that we are better than nature. We mess up Earth and we're going to fix it not by stopping pollution and our bad habits, we'll just create this bandaid.

It's much more of a gamble too.

We only have one Earth. Why can't we just pollute less? And address the problem directly. We use too much oil and are throwing plastic into the sea.

Your proposed solution sounds like it cost a lot. I think there are other cost effective ways to go address this problem and can lead to a win-win for everybody (well except for oil industry).
