In the light of Hordequin's paper, the stratospheric experimenters at Make Sunsets should consider contributing its first 4.2 trillion dollars in income from the $10 a gram SO2 Cooling Credits it advertises to disaster relief in the Kingdom of Tonga, as *Nature* reports the 5 January 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai eruption injected ~ .42 Tg — 420,000,000,000 grams of SO2 into the stratosphere.
