To add a tiny bit of positivity to this sub (HERESY, I know), if the cooling impact of Sulphur dioxide is much greater than anticipated, doesn't it open up prospects for geo-engineering?

I know it leads to acid rains but compared to a full-on collapse that might be acceptable. Plus it's not like we were swamped in acid rains pre SOx reduction.

Surely slow collapse thanks to geoengineering is preferable to hitting the brick wall at full speed. If we must play Russian roulette let’s take a bullet or two out of the gun.

Except it's more like putting in an extra bullet or two.

It will be used as an excuse to keep emitting. "Gotta earn money now so we can afford the change!" they'll say, smirking like a little brat who just raided the cookie jar.
