As I read the openings to these posts, I think these can be good introductions to a documentary for climate change. I like how you mention how human's ingenuity has always been at the forefront of our endeavors. How human ingenuity and "owning" the land/resources was a sign that we have "conquered" the world.
I also agree that it is difficult to go against this belief when it has been ingrained in to our system for centuries. However, it is true that this is the next greatest obstacle/achievement that humans are overcome. Although like you said, most achievements come with tragedies. As we discussed with geoengineering, it is important to think about the bad consequences that may come. At this point though I would rather take affects from trying to do something than continuing on the path that we are on.
