Interview climatologist Alan Robock on geoengineering:

Rutgers University climatologist Alan Robock talks with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists about geoengineering and nuclear winter. He says that geoengineering is not the solution to global warming because of its many risks and unknowns. He notes that some of the technology that would be required to implement geoengineering has not been developed and that many socio-political questions would have to be resolved before it could be put into practice--questions such as who decides what the global temperature should be?  The world would have to reach agreement on a target temperature and on what entity should do the implementing. Robock's biggest fear with regard to geoengineering is that disputes over these questions could escalate into nuclear war which in turn could cause nuclear winter, producing global famine among other effects. Robock goes on to describe interactions with the Central Intelligence Agency regarding their interest in geoengineering, and his meeting with Fidel Casto.
