Ixnay on atmospheric particulate seeding

At least with sulfur particles, beyond the obvious acid rain worries, the particles WOULD help global warming by blocking some sunlight, but, at a price …

The blocking, plus evey more scattering and diffusing, would put a big dent in solar energy production.

An off the top-of-my-head guess says particulate aerosols would have similar “issues.”
