I don't think people fully appreciate just how cheap and easy sulfur stratospheric injection is for solar radiation management.
It could be cheaply executed any of dozens of ways by individuals, autonomously, independently, anonymously, and deniably.

It's much easier than the giant gun in Termination Shock. And much cheaper.
No time to write a blog, too busy with .
Question for the nerds: marginal cost of SO2 delivered to the stratosphere with a giant LDPE balloon full of a lifty mixture of H2 and SO2?

Out of all the Stephenson books, Termination Shock seems like it might be the most physically plausible.
It'll be interesting to see how things play out.
