@laurence1allen@ENERGY As long as they take the sulfur emissions and put it 66k+ feet up instead of ground level, it cancels itself out and then some. 1 metric ton of SO2 in the stratosphere offsets the warming of 1,000,000 metric tons of CO2 warming for a year.
For my right winged followers, it doesn't really matter if you believe in global warming or not. There are millions of people who are currently located close to the equator feeling the full force of what you don't believe in. Guess where they're going to go once it feels too hot?
