SPace solar power still has a ways to go. However, such a multbillion dollareffort certainly would lock in programs for decades.
They are also looking at artificial volcanoes...Well, perhaps they should start with the real volcanoes
Here is an interesting site to check out the active volcanoes...http://www.geocodezip.com/v2_activeVolcanos.asp
Looks like Planetary engineering will become popular again.

I would think that space solar power would be much cheaper than trying to re-engineer the Earth's climate.
Space solar power would permit complete elimination of all carbon emissions. In that scenario, natural processes would be sufficient to reduce atmospheric CO2 content, and restore the atmospheric heat balance to normal.
