What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Yes, but the estimated effect on global average temperature this change imparts is 0.05C by 2050

And whilst we could add more, I'm not convinced acid rain is the winning trade of for controlling global warming.

We don't need to use sulfur oxides to do it. One strategy I saw was to send seawater through misters that will aerosolize the salt and seed clouds. And now that we know how much that effect is, we know how much cloud seeding we need to do.
