Like the other reply said, there is no natural equilibrium.

We want to return to pre-industrial levels because we’re used to it and we liked it more then.

I like to think of it as scrappy terraforming because we aren't even sure we could handle any of the naturally occurring variation.

Scrappy because, well the planet doesn't quite become uninhabitable and we're starting from the end-game. Science fiction also had me expecting some very cool terraforming infrastructure, not psy-ops to get the serfs to eat bugs.
