Volcano eruptions have proven that sulphates in the high atmosphere will cause a significant enough albedo change that's measurable and quantifiable. They also are very short lasting, so you don't have to worry about a runaway process because as soon as you stop injecting them, everything goes back to the way it was before, albeit with a reduction in thermal absorption.

This is the go-to "solution."

As far as oceanic acidity, hey, I didn't say it'd be all dandy, the oceans will be in big trouble, too. Countries that rely on oceanic resources are going to be in trouble. No doubt about it.
