So it begins
Wasn’t this also the plot of some Highlander movie?

There is a great Hank Green video on the topic. In short we were already putting a ton of aerosols via cargo ship emissions (toxic ones) and recent regulations made the fuel cleaner. This resulted in global temperature spike suggesting aerosols are effective - we already run a massive unsupervised experiment.
There’s a follow-up to that video where he explains he was wrong and it’s probably a bad idea
I mean the route we’re on right now is already apocalyptically bad. Neither works of fiction giving a cautionary tale of fiction, nor failing to fully understand what we’re doing really hold any weight against the reality that we ARE cooking our planet.
Worse case scenario, we do what we were going to do anyway: change the climate into one that doesn’t sustain human life.
I vote fuck it, if there’s a chance it could work, let’s give it a shot.
