The Crimson reports Harvard researchers who hoped to release particles into the atmosphere to see if they could reduce the amount of sunshine hitting the earth were blocked by protests from the Saami Council, which represents Saami living in an area of Sweden where the tests were to be done.
The researchers are looking at sunlight blocking as a possible way to reduce global warming, not as a future plot of a James Bond movie.

one other SF novel I've read where an attempt to reduce global warming by injecting particulates into the upper atmosphere goes horribly wrong. Earth in the wake of anthropogenic eco-catastrophe and, to a lesser extent, disastrous attempts to remedy it, are a whole sub-genre of SF.
