If the people of the world let one hundred fifty decide to build space mirrors to block the sun when we are experiencing some of the coldest days on record, then it will be a tragedy. I hope some of the We Are Change people in the Bay Area and/or Alex Jones put this Asilomar International Conference On Climate Intervention & Geoengineering Technologies being held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Monterey, California on 22-26 March 2010 (see the note above) on their calendar and protest these folks.
No one should have the right to block the sun or geoengineer this planet no matter how well intentioned their quack science may be. We certainly are living in the future with a bunch of mad scientists! And it doesn't just stop with the space mirrors.
We already have these stratospheric aerosols. They are called chemtrails! A chemtrail by any other name is still the same.
Of course dumping iron won't have any adverse effects on other marine lifeforms likely resulting in an even worse crisis. Yeah, right! And I have some oceanfront property in Oatman, Arizona for sale at $500 an acre!
Spraying salt into the sky will dry up the clouds and cause droughts.
Let's make the planet even colder than it already is.
Why not just plant more real trees?

Stratospheric aerosols
Spray shiny sulphur compounds into the high atmosphere to reflect sunlight. Relatively cheap and easy to do, though the chemicals gradually fall back to earth. The most likely option, though possible side effects include changes to global rainfall.

Ocean fertilisation
Dump iron into the sea to boost plankton growth and soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Hard to do on a significant scale, and doubts about how deep the plankton would sink have raised doubts about how long the carbon would be secured.

Cloud whitening
Fleets of sailing ships strung across the world's oceans could spray seawater into the sky to evaporate and leave behind shiny salt crystals to brighten clouds, which would then reflect sunlight back into space. Could be turned off at any time, but might interfere with wind and rain patterns.

Space mirrors
A giant orbiting sunshade in space to block the sun. More likely to be a collection of millions or even trillions of small mirrors rather than a giant orbiting parasol. Very expensive and impractical with current technology.

Artificial trees
Devices that use a chemical process to soak up carbon dioxide from the air. Technically possible but very expensive on a meaningful scale.
