    To slow things down a tad? I think we could still do that

      Slowing things down would be putting the sulphur back in diesel and spraying it from jets in the upper atmosphere. Any reduction in pollution at this point will just accelerate warming as we lose the cooling effect from the particulates in the atmosphere.

        What a bunch of nonsense.

        Every GHG emission not done will slow down global warming. Pollution is detrimental to vegetation and thus detrimental to the only source of reliable carbon sinks we have.

          Oh no it’s absolutely worse in the long term. We have the choice of being super-fucked or ultra-fucked. If we blast sulphur into the atmosphere we might get to enjoy one generation of having food and water (maybe).
