He brings up exactly this kind of geoengineering solution, talks about the good parts and the bad parts and the side effects of the idea. Then he suggests even if we don't do it, maybe China (or someone else) will do it in 50 years and we won't be able to stop them at that point. And we won't even have a good idea on what our response should be if they are planning to do it, since we won't have any idea of the consequences for a particular method.

He concludes with the idea that whether geoengineering is a good idea or not, we should start thinking the various ways it could be accomplished now, rather than waiting, even if the purpose of thinking about it is to decide not to do it.

Also, aside from Bret and Jemaine, there's just Steve who should be worried about copyright infringement, since there's only 3 musicians from NZ. Although, it seems like Jemaine and Bret could use all the free publicity they can get.
