In a new bizarre experiment, scientists will create an "artificial volcano" that they hope can cool down the Earth by pumping sulphate particles into the atmosphere.
The project is already under way and will be launched in October.

Found some of the tentacles.

From 2010:
Their work will begin at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxford, where the researchers will use lasers and molecular spectroscopy to choose the particles they want to use. According to Watson, the team is drawn to the use of sulphate because of its particular ‘shininess’ to visible light. However, the team will trial other particles including clays, salts and mineral oxides.

And yet another very interesting link excerpt:
The experiment is the first major test of a piping system that could one day spew sulfate particles into the stratosphere at an altitude of 20 kilometers, supported by a stadium-size hydrogen balloon. The goal is geoengineering, or the "deliberate, large-scale manipulation of the planetary environment" in the words of the Royal Society of London, which provides scientific advice to policymakers. In this case, researchers are attempting to re-create the effects of volcanic eruptions to artificially cool Earth.

An excellent observation by ZTE:
The only example I can think of is "fighting fire with gasoline in an attempt to burn-up all oxygen surrounding the fire."
Let's keep an eye on this, since the "test" is in October!
