PBS.org: A cheap but dangerous global warming fix
A controversial, but cheap solution of last resort has emerged known as “solar radiation management.” A geoengineering technique, it would shoot particles into the sky to reflect sunlight back to space.

Its already being done. The Chinese use and Indian use of massive amounts of coal to make electricity has sent up a Volcanos worth of SO2 ( Sulfur dioxide) gas into the stratosphere , this gas blocks and reflects sunlight. If both these countries and the rest like Germany etc. stopped burning coal tomorrow, by next year the irony is that global surface air temps. would immediately rise! So, we'd better figure out some way to get the CO2 under control before we shut down the SO2 that is actually knocking down about a 1/3 of the potential warming that would occur without it.
We're f-d.
