Engineering a Reversal of Warming

Nawaf al-Sabah has presented a Gordian Knot. He acknowledges we are in a climate crisis caused by burning fossil fuels and then correctly says we can't stop using them anytime soon. My hope is that some leader somewhere (maybe al-Sabah?) grabs the sword that cuts through the knot by mimicking volcanoes that sometimes inject SO2 into the stratosphere — an approach that I believe would reverse global warming quickly, safely, affordably, and naturally. It’s urgent, as we hurtle toward so many awful, irreversible tipping points like melting ice caps and permafrost, changing ocean currents, more and more forest fires, warmer oceans that hold less CO2 and spawn bigger hurricanes. Stratospheric aerosol injection is the answer!
