At least Morrison cut him down, you can disagree with respect

Jones is an attention seeker

Dingbatt: Are the oxides of sulphur greenhouse gases?

kingdragonfly: You're right. Sulphur oxides may lower the Earth's temperature.

It does produce acid rain, sulphuric acid, which isn't good.

A doco I watched a few years back talked about global cooling. Dust particles are very small, clouds are made up of dust particles with water attaching. The docs stated that small particles which are large and not greenhouses gases as they are just carbon particles, being larger, attach more water. More water, more filtering solar rays, = cooling. Theoretically you can ban greenhouse gases and burn stuff that is mainly larger carbon smoke particles. Hardware not gases.

kingdragonfly: My initial mixup was confusing sulphur dioxides with nitrous oxide.

Fun fact: if you see lichens growing, it usually a good sign, a good bio-indicators of pollution. They don't like sulphur dioxide.

Regarding climate engineering / climate intervention / geoengineering, I got to wonder if reduce sunlight would mean less photosynthesis, so less fixing of CO2.

Here's an interesting article from 2018.

Harvard scientists will soon send chemicals into the atmosphere to test whether a last-ditch planet-hacking plan could keep Earth habitable

* It’s unlikely that humans will stop Earth’s temperature from surpassing 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, a rise that would lead to devastating climate change.

* To help cool the planet, some scientists are proposing the use of solar geoengineering, a method in which chemicals are sprayed into the atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays back into space.

* A team of Harvard scientists plans on starting a real-world solar geoengineering study in early 2019.

* The scientists will release balloons containing calcium carbonate, which they expect to help lower temperatures.

* Some scientists are strongly opposed to solar geoengineering, saying the method could harm ecosystems and be weaponised.

I am in favour

While stopping this is still possible, it would require a coordinated shift in the global economic system, which is unlikely.  So we cannot use economic cooperation

So, we can develop geotechnical means, this wont break the globe but we can experiment. Then we do it. BUT the economic side will still get in the way, so a global alliance needs to be formed. Difficult. It will be easy as in 100 years, as by then its ONLY about survival. What a crock us humans are. Its times like the you look at a cooperative means of life, instead of capitalism.
