30pc of the increase since 1990 is around 11y of global warming - roughly
1/6 of all GHGs emitted or around 0.2C of cooling. The most popular votes
are late 2020s. The equipment to do this work simply doesn't exist - it's
not even at the detailed design stage. To get this done by the late 2020s
would require an Apollo style engineering project (probably smaller
expenditure, probably larger fleet tonnage - but you get the idea),
followed by the most sudden global cooling since Pinatubo - all without
triggering a war among nuclear armed superpowers who are currently having
the largest land war since WWII.

I'm at the gung ho end of gung ho, and even I can confidently say that
simply isn't going to happen.
