I really need to stop reading this thread because you all are making me angry. If I took the time to explain why all of these ideas don't work, or are generally harmful to the biosphere I'd be here all day. I'm an expert in this field, and I don't have any bright ideas either.
But think:
* What ecosystem services are being provided by the element you want to disrupt? Humans are not the only users of land.
* Will your land use change make things worse? Remember, forests absorb more light than farms.
* Do you actually have a plan to collect carbon?
* Does your proposal violate conservation of energy?
* Your climate proposal involving spaceflight does not work, period. You have the atmosphere, the oceans, the biosphere, and the geology to play with, and you need to consider all of them.
If you actually want to do something to make a difference, mostly consider minimizing energy consumption in your life. Don't buy new things so much. Move markets into energy efficient goods by buying them. In California, you can contact your electricity provider and request 100% renewable energy.
