So I was watching a video the other day about a massive volcano that erupted in the 1800s. It released so much sulphur into atmosphere that the planet cooled by 2 degrees. Which led me to the absurd thought that maybe we could induce a volcano into erupting to cool the planet and negate some of the climate change we’re seeing?
EDIT: forget the word NUKE and just think about if we could trigger a volcano successfully to our benefit? I understand that we wouldn’t want nuclear fallout.

It’s trying these easy way out / silver bullet things that got us to where we are at now – FWIW there’s been proposals to put blocking particles in the upper atmosphere…
