  The scientific literature says it should https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injectio... it is not some crazy idea I came up with. The crazy part is doing it. (Personally I want my own B767!)

    While I admire the initiative, I am also a bit worried: > Other possible side effects > Ozone depletion: is a potential side effect of sulfur aerosols;[38][39] and these concerns have been supported by modelling.[40]

      I don't see it as good from a technological point of view, but I think it's good from a political point of view. Nothing is going to happen on climate change until nations are willing to go to war over it. I see this plan as something like the "Rainbow Warrior" reversed; responsible people should want to stop it, but how can responsible people stop it if they won't take responsibility for the root problem? It's a provocation that might break the impasse and lead to better actions like reopening the canyons at Savannah River to reprocess commercial nuclear waste and developing fast breeder reactors coupled to Brayton cycle turbines.
