I'm interested to see what's viable to send to orbit now. Can a solar shade be put up which blocks light from hitting our poles and prevent some climactic change? How about rocketing asteroids back to LEO for processing into valuable minerals?
Geoengineering projects will probably require a lot of haggling in committees, mining asteroids does seem to have some momentum (pun intended)[1] though I would personally worry about moving some big metallic asteroid to LEO, wouldn't want to make any mistakes...
