The retort from MS covers the total cost of ownership. It failed argument in a place where support would be considerable cheaper than in the US or UK and hence drive a different software model.
Good for them (Peru) and good luck. I hope political bulling doesn't affect Peruvian freedom. Choice is everything.
Human climate control has been bantered around for some time now. In fact the Global trade in CO2 emissions encourages the idea. The simple fact remains that the existing CO2/O2 global regulations is poorly understood. (The ages of Gaia)
Some more feasible suggestions include the fertilising plankton with the bio-available iron to promote blooms that would mop up a significant amount of CO2 and deposit it on the ocean floor. It is then bound in the sedimentation process.
But despite the ideas there is only one planet and no chance for a f*** up.
I personally subscribe to James Lovelock's Gaia theory of global climate regulation.
The climate has controlled itself quite well for the last 3.4 - 4 billion years (with no climate regulation tax or middle management layer!) the real need is to limit our climate impact.
Climate regulation is a dangerous idea steaming from fix-it style engineering ethos.

A good and well thought argument for Peru.
