Short of launching all the nukes, it's actually really hard to imagine a faster way to make Earth uninhabitable than humanity's GHG emissions project. (3.68×10^13 kg of CO2 in 2022 alone! Impressive!)
If we could terraform planets as quickly as we're de-terraforming Earth, Mars would be prime real estate in no time. Alas.

Manufacturing lots of SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) might do the trick. 22800x more greenhouse potential than CO2 per unit mass.
It's way more dense[0] than air, though, so not a lot of it reaches the upper atmosphere. I don't think it's 22800x more effective when produced at ground level.
That's why we're aiming for in-orbit manufacturing, isn't it?

Oh there'll be glitches, believe me
