No it's a pretty cheap thing to do.  Experiments have already been conducted via balloons carrying these substances in the SW.  I read that even island nations like Indonesia can do it.  Their survival is at stake because island nations will be the first to go underwater with sea level rise.  There is controversy surrounding it because the only other solution would be to relocate millions of people (and Indonesia is highly populated) to another nation.  Australia doesn't want to take them in from what I've read.

Any fool who doesn't believe that this has happening only has to look at what's been going on in these Pacific islands in terms of sea level rise and also sunny day flooding in Miami, Charleston and even the south shore of Long Island. Sea level rise is asymmetric and affects some coastal areas more than others. Gulf coast and east coast of the CONUS are affected much more than the west coast (for example.) We've already been relocating people from islands off the Louisiana coast.

If it's cheap then hopefully they have a way to move it forward.

The major concern about geoengineering is its unintended effects. For example, India would not be indifferent should the monsoon “fail” and it could attribute the failure to geoengineering. Other major powers would also be sensitive to events they attribute to geoengineering and at least some might retaliate against those whom they blame.

Yes in the models that were used lower monsoonal rainfalls were one of the predicted side effects of this.  However, the big fossil fuel companies want it to happen since they think they will be off the hook and will be able to keep burning fossil fuels at the current rate.

Either way, we'll have problems.  The fossil fuel companies have their bases covered either way because even if less fossil fuels are used for energy they are themselves transitioning to using them in producing more plastics via petrochemicals.

We are just starting to use plant based biodegradable plastics so hopefully we can cut them off at the pass.
