Reducing global heating

An experiment will study injecting aerosol into the stratosphere to see whether that can reduce global heating somewhat.

This is not the best way to try to do it. I would do nothing about the other big effect of CO2: ocean acidification, which is likely to wipe out all coral and shellfish.

Since SCROTUS couldn't repeal Obama's medical insurance plan, the next step is for Saboteur of Health Tom Price to mess up the system quietly.
