I would say: "Don't mess with what you don't know".

Most inputs into a fundamentally chaotic system lead to an unpredictable result. Who is to say what effect reflective particles in the upper atmosphere would have? Reduced crop yields in parts of the globe? Changes in ocean currents leading to some areas warming further and others cooling? Who knows... Anyway, anything is better than another ice-age (which is well overdue, apparently).
