    Is this something that would be dreamed up by the bourgeois class in the Western imperial core

    Maybe, not because it would be effective though

    resulting in global climate change of -1 degree Celcius (which would revert the global temperature, at least transiently, back to the Little Ice Age period between 1400s and 1800s

    We’re already 1.1 c above preindustrial levels, so -1c from 5 tg just brings us back to 1850

    This modelling covers a longer timeframe and other forecast impacts

      Thanks. I was thinking this more from a perspective of the declining US empire using the vast power it has keep “exporting” the suffering to the Global South to buy themselves another decade of time, not that it would be a viable solution in the long term (“viable” here includes killings hundreds of millions in the process and screwing up the ecology).
