In a geologic time scale they actually happen fairly often, the notable recent one was the Little Ice Age, it ran from somewhere around 1400-1800. People skated on the Thames , Glaciers grew in the alps etc.
Yet even smaller ones occur. Shelly wrote Frankenstein in one, If you ever read the original work it was set in a bleak and snowy background. Mary Shelly and some other writers and Poets were visiting Lord Byron, at some rented Villas in Switzerland on Lake Geneva, in the SUMMER. They were trapped for weeks as unusually cold, wet weather was occurring even with snow. To combat boredom they had a writing contest and Shelly won. It’s now known that Summer of 1816 or The Year Without A Summer followed the Eruption of the massive Tambora Volcano (when countless pounds of aerosols were ejected in the air).
A lesser example was Krakatoa in 1883.
Such an event, if combined with sun dimming, might ruin crops on a 8 billion person earth, compared to 1 billion in 1816.

It’s never a good idea to play God. People have been spraying things in the air for years to try to modify weather. The end result is that they seem to be polluting soil with aluminum & other toxic substances. All of this ‘playing God’ nonsense needs to stop. Including worrying about warming or cooling which occurs naturally. We cannot, & should not, try to do anything about it.
Scientists can be pretty dim sometimes.
Yeah, great idear eh? Fookin’ idjits!
It would probably continue the work by the insane elitists that tried to kill off a large portion of the population with the covid bioweapon.
Given that Britain is the 5th cloudiest country in the world and they have spent a lot of money they don't have to implement solar power, the Crowder ridicule went something like this, with the ridiculously funny accent of Terry-Thomas being the dominant funny part:
BRIT 1: I say, we have a new project to prevent global warming!
BRIT 2: Right! It involves seeding clouds to make them more reflective and direct sunlight back into space!
BRIT 1: Say-we just spent a fortune laying down solar panels! And we are going to cut off the sunlight?
BRIT 2: Bad show! Er, ah, shouldn't we have done things the other way around?
BRIT 1: What? Do the experiment first and then get the solar panels?
BRIT 2: Drat! Whatever shall we do now?
BRIT 1: And won't less sunlight make our teeth worse?
In terms of geoengineering science goes, humans are at a kindergarten stage and have no business pretending we are advanced enough to even attempt such things.
And while we’re at it, why don’t we introduce rabbits into Australia?
This won’t go or end well, for earth and its inhabitants.
This experiment is coming from a country that is spending billions on the advancement of solar power technology. hmmm
If some supposed harm could come to a “threatened” rat, insect, bird or fish the environmentalists would have apoplexy. The Climate Change Cult would have us living like peasants to avoid a few parts per million increase in CO2. Yet an “experiment” that could cause untold global catastrophe …crickets.
Dim the sun. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
