Agreed, being natural is not necessariliy good. Solar flare, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, eathquakes, polar ice cap and glaciers melting are all natural phenomena. Mabye they're good for the planet but not good at all for the puny earthlings, us.

Also, "we'll just do it over the oceans where impact should be limited" is risk prone, just like controlled burns.
