It's quite cost effective to do something like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injectio...
Embarking on these would bring us a disaster far beyond anything we are facing now.

The solutions to climate change are not technical, they are political.
Call politicians, protest, raise funds, join a party, become a politician yourself.
With just a $20 carbon tax we basically end coal, which is about 40% of our global emissions:

At $50 we end natural gas, at $100 we end oil.
