Should we reflect sunlight to cool the planet?

Start In 1991, Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted becoming the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century and into the stratosphere dispersing a layer of aerosol particles around the whole world. Those particles formed a sort of solar umbrella that reflected sunlight away from the earth caused global temperatures to drop by about half a degree celsius for almost two years. It's not the first massive volcanic eruption to cool global temperatures.
