What country is going to take the hit and start the high altitude sulfur spraying? If we even could get the forcing back to what it already was in the recent past that would be a great help.

How long would that temporary measure help?

What would that do to acidic rain, global dimming, ecology and agriculture.

Masking the problem will only make it come back harder when measures don't scale up anymore. Then there'll be no time to do much more.

As long as you do it.

Well, it's a trade-off. Is sulfur worse than global warming?

Geo-engineering is not an opportunity to stop phasing out fossils, but a way to get more time for better technology to spread.
