There was a hank green video about this a year back. Video link here, the tldr was that container ships used to use a type of fuel that was both bad for the environment but also really good at cloud seeding. More clouds shielded the oceans surface from the sun, artificially reducing its temperature. But in 2020 regulations made container ships move to a fuel that didnt seed clouds as much, so fewer clouds, higher temperature.

So i guess one potential take away from that, if its right, is that the temperatures are not "suddenly" getting worse, but rather have been artificially depressed and we are only now going to what it should be.

Actually it's currently being looked at. The basic idea is to add sulfur to kerosine for airplanes to spray that into our atmosphere.

Bad side is it will cause acid rain, but the good side is that it will buy us a few decades that totally won't be abused to speed even more CO2 in the air

And the millions of people who'll die from the air pollution are, of course, of no consequence.
