We haven’t tried shit. We’ve continued to operate as if there are no limits to the biosphere. I’m very aware of the situation, which is the only reason I don’t reject geoengineering out of hand. Mao thought ecoengineering by killing all the sparrows would increase crop yields. It did not end well. I simply don’t want that on a global scale.

You're missing the part about time. There is nothing that can be done in time to stop the problem. We've already tried everything that could actually work in a short amount of time. Geoengineering is the only thing left.

The rest of your argument is a strawman argument. There's nothing to defend there.
