I disagree. First attempt at terraforming SHOULD be done on a lifeless planet. That way if your first try screws up, it is not fatal. A "notable, controllable and reversible influence on the weather on (part of) the earth" should not be even attempted until we worked out the bugs elsewhere.
Not that it is close to reality either...
