Aerosol injection and makeups are on the same principle, mineral particles distributed on surface promote reflection.

It's also a quick fix that doesn't require commitments to switch healthier lifestyle to improve base condition.

it’s a fix temporary, symptomatic treatment at best. It does not address the root cause.

It's a fix that buys us time and technology that let's us fix it better over time.

If we can fix it perfectly once our tech gets better, then no harm, no foul. We can use the time to develop technologies that make our energy not polluting.

Buying time gives us the options we need to grow into a species that can actually handle our power, which we are absolutely not now. The alternative is definitely worse.
