When I was a kid in elementary school, maybe kindergarten or first grade, we had a lesson on cooking. All we really did was heat up some pre-made soup and add some seasoning. Mine was a little bland, so I added some salt, and it was pretty good so I added some more. And before long, I had some very salty soup. I looked at the pepper and thought "Surely this pepper is the opposite of salt. That oughta take care of it," and proceeded to add pepper into my soup until I had some very peppery soup. So I tried again to balance it out with some salt, and then balanced that out with some pepper, and again, etc., until I had some extremely disgusting soup.
This is geoengineering in a nutshell.
