So to sum up your argument.. we don't know what might happen, so we shouldn't bother to try to find out. Did I sum that up correctly?
If you carry that through to its logical conclusion, nothing would ever be tried for the first time.
People in the rich countries may be able to afford to give up their dirty carbon spewing cars and industries, but the rest of the world won't. If it comes down to feeding your family or not polluting, people will choose pollution every time.
Your argument is short sighted and wrongheaded. Further research needs to be done, so that we can determine what the effects are on carbon levels and on the affected ecosystem.. But to do nothing and arrogantly proclaim that a possible solution should be ruled out because of your hypothetical fears is incredibly irresponsible.
