I read a few articles done by places like NASA and some other atmospheric research articles that showed this was happening.

Do you have a link to that please?

The launch will not release any stratospheric aerosols. Rather, it will serve as a test to maneuver the balloon and examine communications and operational systems.
SRM (Solar Radiation Management) would mimic the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions (like Pinatubo) by slightly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface. The potential ramifications of these technologies are not being taken lightly.
David Keith, a professor of applied physics and public policy at Harvard University, recognizes the “very many real concerns” of geoengineering.
Such methods may be deployed as a last resort against warming but they are not optimal. Reducing CO2 emissions would be preferable.

Data provided by large volcanic eruptions (like Pinatubo) seem to dispute your claim.
Pinatubo
What some people call "chemtrails" are contrails and they may add a bit of warming. Contrails are high altitude clouds (cirrus clouds, actually) and they can increase temperatures. SRM does not produce clouds, it would not likely be visible at all, except as "Pinatubo sunsets", perhaps.

What can go wrong?
Bil gates back sun-dimming technology
Quote:" Microsoft’s MSFT +3.6% billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere — a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming. "
I'm pretty sure the military will not be using this tech to block other countries sun light.
Forget gates, but look at China military build up guys.

They found that contrails affect the diurnal temperatures, but don't have enough data to know what the long term effect is. The three days after 9/11 when there was no air travel didn't give them enough long term data.
