I recently saw a video where someone had done the math if the sun output literally 1% less energy (or I guess shading 1% that reaches earth would be the same) and it would literally throw us into another ice age lol, and apparently models say that even that wouldn't fix the damage done to our oceans and it would actually speed up acidification.
Sounds like we would have to build satellites with shades that would be selectively turned off and on as needed and only for specific parts of the globe like the overheating cities. Might be able to have some interesting effects forcing weather patterns that way.
However as you say none of that helps the ocean acidification and that is terrifying.
