    This does happen and it’s an effective way to decrease the temperature:

    Might be difficult to implement at scale though.

      It’s not really hard to implement at all but would just trade pest for cholera. We could just burn a lot of coal again, the dustier and dirtier the better. But that’s pretty bad for air quality but it would seriously cool the planet.
