If this is what we are aiming for instead of just fixing the things causing the problems

Then maybe we should just consider letting global warming do its thing.

I think it's too late to actually fix the problems.

You say "just fixing the things causing the problems" as if that's something that's easy, or even doable. It's not.

I really don't get why people are so opposed to simply studying options like this. If you're really convinced that the world is doomed anyway, why does it bother you whether studies like this are done?
