no, it will increase regardless of human intervention (milankovitch cycles), the best we can do is throttle the rate of increase to allow a larger length of time to deal with its effects

the only legitimate solution would be the implementation of a planetary sun shade. a mass of object(s) that can orbit the earth and periodically block the sun's radiation.

makes you wonder why the moon perfectly blocks the sun during eclipses...

Next question?

So we've pretty much hit the point where we cannot stop a positive feedback loop from occurring and the Earth is going to continue to heat up, which will release more CO2 and Methane, which will heat it up more, which will cause more methane release, etc.

So what are our options now to stop runaway global warming and stabilize the climate of the planet? Is some kind of solar shade possible? How much light could we realistically block out with satellites?
