The question is on a scale of the extinction event at the end of the last ice age to the End Permian Extinction Event aka the Great Dying how bad do we want it

    Or, if instead of reducing emissions, we try to geo-engineer our way out of global warming, screw it up, and create a real snowball Earth.

    As opposed to geo-engineering our way into global warming like we have been?

    Warming is bad, so cooling has to be good. Is that your logic?

    No, I'm just pointing out the fallacy in your comment that carbon emissions aren't geo-engineering or that reducing carbon emissions isn't either. Also that any actually geo-engineered solution, as per your definition, is going to be far less effective than the literal centuries of concerted effort to destroy the environment.
