Aerosol injection is only a reasonable solution if you believe that temperature increase is the only drawback of additional CO2 in the atmosphere.

The oceans will continue to soak it all up as we inject temp-balancing aerosols.

I don't think it's the environmentalists stopping atmospheric tampering, it's other things like the economics of it, or some countries being very against it.

Geoengineers have talked seriously about this for a long time, but it's a mostly a political issue, then who actually wants to pay to do the science and pay for the outcomes, when you've got no real idea who will get destroyed in the long run.

Is Europe going to help fund it, with a consequence being they have less rainfall? Nobody really knows, so no one really wants to pay to do it at scale, forever.

Right. Like one thing that cancer needs is oxygen. So if we stop breathing (instead of laboriously stopping smoking--that's hard), then we can slow down cancer.

The whole developed world is self-sabotaging. Environmentalists are just the messengers.

Injection also isn't guaranteed to help. Adding clouds temporarily doesn't decrease co2 in the atmosphere.
