SRM won't work? Why not?

Seems the concern is atmospheric degradation due to emissions from humans? I got an idea. Reverse the process. The idea came to me from OP's name. Burn the plains, trains, automobiles and make it a capital offense to cut down a tree or dig up coal and oil.
Completely ludicrous, right? So is spraying more] chemicals into the already tortured biosphere. Are we collectively nuts or just insane with the need to continue destroying our air? Were going to need that you know....

Actually, most of the studies point out that reducing or capturing CO2 emissions would be a better idea than SRM. But see, that's a plot too.

Solar radiation managment.
Reducing the warming effects of sunlight through various proposed means.
99% of us should be forced to live like the Amish.

3) Neither in this study, nor anywhere else, is there any evidence that any such spraying would be visible from the ground, other than perhaps as a faint haze, most noticeable at sunrise or sunset, similar to stratropheric volcanic dust clouds - as I have again pointed out before (and been ignored every time).
If you take my advice, stop worrying about imaginary chemtrails and start worrying about the law of unintended consequences - it almost always comes back to bite us. And often very hard.

Yes, that's the solution! We need the iron fist of socialism!

The elitist 1% drive around in their stretch limos to view the peasants once a month.
Then they can fly to Maui in their Gulfstream 650.
There! Finally, the earth is saved! We did it!
Most studies of geoengineering focus on the release of SO2
or H2S gas into the stratosphere where over time (~1 month), they are converted to
condensable H2SO4. Recent work by Pierce et al has shown that directly emitting
H2SO4 allows better control of particle size 6 and therefore more effective reflection of
incoming flux.

Check out the first 4 minutes of this film - as poor a sequel as this was to a great movie it could end up being quite prophetic:

Thanks, evening's movie now chosen!
Prophetic indeed, that gives me the creeps. With all of the money in the world, I wonder
how they really think they have a chance though, lets see..
Man vs The Sun -
Man vs Shifting Poles
Man vs Global Cooling (Ice Age)
Yep, man is toast.
I would rather die in a catastrophe than breathe that garbage, its not going to work anyways!

Because there is a lot of resistance to CO2 reduction and any effort in that direction may prove to be too little too late.

That's what Al Gore and James Cameron want.
