"climate control on a scale of decades rather than millennia." What happens in decades is of no importance in the grand scheme of things.

That because what we can do to change the weather doesn't take the weather pattern out of its equilibrium.

We have had big volcanic eurption, this is one way to make a big sudden change in the weather. A year or so is back to its equilibrium.

"We could plunge into an ice age in 3 years."
Not in 3, in 30 or even 300 years. The amount of KW from the Sun reacing the Earth's surface is constant. We can't detroy energy. How the planet would get rid of the heat?

The TV cameras capturing a bit of wind here and there -albeit big in a human and economic scale- it is nothing in the whole scheme of things.

Change the weather needs a huge effect to act upon the hyper stable system. The wobbling the axis can trigger a major weather change. Man? In 500 years we will be back to about 1 billion people and this here is being reforested once again.
