The Do It yourself way to reduce worldwide temperatures

I woke up out of a dream this morning thinking about this, so likely it is an important thought to bring up.

I thought about how it is relatively easy to buy weather balloons which can then be filled with either helium or hydrogen for lift. What if people added some volcanic dust for ballast so when the balloon reached 20,000 to 30,000 feet or more when the balloon burst the volcanic dust could help to reduce worldwide temperatures? Yes. It is true that it would only move downwind at that altitude of wherever you release this weather balloon but if many people did this worldwide when temperatures were out of control upward this could reduce temperatures worldwide and save lives. Volcanic activity the last few years in places like Iceland and other places have drastically altered temperatures downward already by putting pyroclastic glass particles up above 20,000 feet in the atmosphere. For example, in the Western United States snow levels at altitude are still above 12 to 20 feet in most mountain ranges from the Rockies to the Sierras and Cascades on the West Coast of the U.S. With all the trouble of flooding already in the Mississippi River Regions reaching record levels still I was thinking what a nightmare it would be for all midwestern and western states if suddenly we had temperatures this summer above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and all this snow melted at once within a week or two. This could be much worse than the flooding and tornadoes of this spring so far for all western and Midwestern states with rivers.

For example, many roads and trails and campgrounds in Yellowstone are still closed as I write this there this Memorial Day Weekend. And as I write this at around 8 am Sunday morning Pacific Time there is snow falling right now in parts of the Sierras here in California on Sunday May 29th 2011.
