This link is a long, but very well thought out blog post by Eric Etheridge. It deals primarily with adding sulfur to the atmosphere to counter CO2 induced global warming. To me the scariest scenario arises if we implement the sulfur addition approach, and then discover it has serious adverse side effects. In this scenario, we will not have been doing all possible to reduce carbon emissions, and if we decide we must stop sulfur addition, global warming will basically explode as the sulfur quickly disappears from the atmosphere.
A recommended post if you have time to read it, and ponder over it.
