    Well…

    There is this thing where maybe we could use jetliners to emit a little bit of sulfuric oxides, through their fuel.

    The result of that would be a moderate amount of that in the upper atmosphere, which will reflect away some of the solar radiation, like that pollution did back in the 80s and 90s, lowering the global temperatures slightly, and with that the impact of the CO2 crisis that were in.

    It’ll produce acid rains but that is the trade off they we might have to make.

      Aeons ago I read something about scientists monitoring weather temperature data in September 2001. A lot of aircraft were grounded that month, and they detected an uptick in temperatures because there were fewer contrails, Earth’s albedo decreased very slightly.
