Is there a point to starting geoengineering after the situation is already disastrous? Because that's the only case I see it happening.

The big advantage is that it could be done unilaterally.

I think it being done unilateral is an even bigger risk.

If China thinks x hast the best outcome for them but it is a desaster for Chile?

Tough luck for them.

Yes it's risky but I feel it might work better with the world of states we have today.
Why wouldn’t there be a point?
Maybe it would take too long for it to be worth starting when the situation is already very bad, but at least wikipedia implies the most well know aerosol injection is fast. I'm no climate scientist.
