Hi,
I think another issue is that you'd need to have mega-ton delivery capacity
ready to go within a timescale of months. I don't see this being built up
without there being a plan to use it. I agree with Andy that it seems wiser
to start slowly than piggy-back off of a volcanic eruption

Hey Andrew, this approach would not be smart from a termination shock point
of view. If you were to start SRM at a high degree of cooling, whether by
volcano or by aeroplane, you would miss out on being able to check for side
effects while slowing ramping up the system. Immediately turning SR
Well, to reach a cooling of the Global temperature by 0.5–2 C, we need a
volcanic eruption like one of the following:
VEI = 6 (Plinian eruption)
the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption (-0.5C)
the 1883 Krakatoa eruption (-3.0C)
VEI = 7 (Ultra-Plinian eruption)
the 1815 Tambora eruption (-(2.3–3.5)C, th
