Possibilities:
-Any substance deposited in the stratosphere to reduce warming (SO2, etc)
-Space-based sunshades: https://senseable.mit.edu/space-bubbles/
Must not be a small pilot study, must be an earnest attempt at reducing global temperatures
Cloud seeding does not count (already done frequently, only serves to increase precipitation, may worsen temperatures due to water vapor's greenhouse properties)
