    Can we just shit out a lot of sulphur dioxide (anti greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere for 50 years whilst co2 emissions are halted?

      Technically possible, but it’d be a few centuries before the excess CO2 is gone and you have to shit out sulphur. Unless you do massive CO2 cartridge too to reduce that time. And that will depends on cutting CO2 emissions to near zero what doesn’t seem to happen anytime soon. Plus you’d have everyone screaming how much it costs the entire way.
