In an effort to fight a non-existent menace, we are creating very real problems.
What Could Go Wrong?

I recommend that Biden, Greta and their ilk live underground. They can make permanent root cellars for themselves and on occasion a basket of bananas, lettuce and broccoli can be lowered down to them.
This is a solution we can all live with.
If anybody can do “dim”, it’s Biden.
“Climate Change” has become so divorced from actual scientific inquiry that papers on it are unreadable. Leftists have invaded the science lab. (Not quite Engineering just yet.)
I remember a… Justice League comic? Something was hurtling towards the Earth and Superman suggested that he could move the Earth out of the way and then put it back. Batman replied that if he had a week he couldn’t say everything wrong with that plan.
Also, Philip, don’t forget the lotion for their skin; so they don’t get the hose again…
There was a movie & a TV series about the consequences of human manipulation of weather on a global scale:

God has placed no limits on man’s stupidity and arrogance. We’re not going to like the consequences of unlimited stupidity coupled with unlimited arrogance.
A dim wit trying to dim the sun…good luck with that!
By the way, if anyone would like to comment on the Whitehouse’s five year plan to study ways of modifying the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth to temper the effects of global warming (a process sometimes called solar geoengineering or sunlight reflection), then please go here:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/legal/
There is a line on that web page which says:
Please submit written input through: https://contribute.globalchange.gov/
This is really foolhardy.

Just as we are doing our best to make George Orwell’s fiction a reality, so also will we try to make Snowpiercer a reality:
“In 2031, 17 years after an attempt to stop global warming via stratospheric aerosol injection catastrophically backfires and creates a new ice age, the remnants of humanity have taken to a self-sustaining circumnavigational train, the Snowpiercer, run by reclusive transportation magnate Wilford. The passengers on the train are segregated, with the elite in the extravagant front cars and the poor crammed into squalid tail compartments overseen by armed guards.”
I say again: God has place no limits on either man’s stupidity or man’s arrogance, and He will in His infinite justice allow us to reap the whilrwind we are so intent on sowing.
“Those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it.” Santanya? Remember Krakatoa?
To Bob’s point, the Krakatoa eruption of 1883 resulted in a volcanic winter wherein average Northern Hemisphere summer temperatures fell by 0.72 °F for a year afterward if not more. Record rainfall fell on Southern California during the year from July 1883 to June 1884: Los Angeles received 38.18 in and San Diego 25.97 in. This rainfall was attributed to the Krakatoa eruption. (Note that there was no El Niño during that period which is normal when heavy rain occurs in Southern California.)
The eruption from the Krakatoa volcano injected an unusually large amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas high into the stratosphere. This gas was subsequently transported by high-level winds all over the planet, leading to a global increase in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) concentration in high-level cirrus clouds. The resulting increase in cloud reflectivity (or albedo) returned to space more incoming light from the sun than usual. That effect cooled the entire planet until the sulfur fell to Earth’s surface as acid precipitation.
So now the Whitehouse wants to do that again and have the effect last longer. Finally we will have man-made global climate change, with acid rain too!
I remember a Justice League cartoon from the 1960s where the villain uses a gravity device to pull the Earth toward the Sun and Superman has to move the Earth back. Batman was not available for comment.

There was an event in 535 AD that might have been Krakatoa and produced quite a winter.

There are a few videos on Youtube. I think if they are pieced together they are part of some TV documentary from a few years back.

Under no circumstances should the Elite, or anyone else for that matter, be allowed to dim the sun
The Justice League and all of Stan Lee’s heroes are personifications of virtues. Embrace virtues and raise the dead as did Saint Benedict.
DJM The Elite have aborted our Constitutional Posterity, all future generations. What could go wrong?
Thomas Malthus did it. Paul and Anna Erhlich are doing it now. Even Pope Francis is consumed with their power hunger. Letting Divine Providence and trust in God go by the wayside as if man could do it all by himself without God. It happened at Babel. It is happening now. IN GOD WE TRUST is written on every coin and dollar.. So, let us trust in God.
Just imagine the grotesquely corrupt, decadent, amoral and deeply selfish crowd we currently have running this nation—in control of the weather. What could go wrong?
I’d rather have the weather controlled by ten people pulled at random from the street than our current betters in DC.
If you want to live where the sun is dim, move to England.
