There are other ways to prevent global warming. Plan C is creating artificial nuclear winter by volcanic explossion or starting large scale forest fires with nukes.

Goes straight into the "Shit LW people say" bucket.

I think starting forest fires with flamethrowers, or cooling the Earth by painting things white, is probably the less exciting but more sensible approach.

Frankly, I wouldn't use the word "sensible" anywhere near these approaches :-/

Hang on, wouldn't starting forest fires create more CO2?
