Since stopping CO2 levels from rising is nigh impossible, the only option left it seems is something drastic like this (I'm reminded of Futurama where they drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every once in a while). It has the added benefit of being able to be done without depending on everyone else changing their habits.

I have a feeling that there are a bunch of these "plan B" solutions to our global climate change problem. It's that they are mostly just giving us more time before we have to actually deal with the problem. If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ever comes to a halt then we are really screwed, so if there's anything which could prevent that from happening it might be worth the risk.
