Brings to mind Niven and Pournelle's "Fallen Angels", where an Ice Age is triggered accidentally by environmentalist governments trying to counteract Global Warming.

Oh, if only they hadn't clamped down on sulfur emissions... We'd still have this nice blanket of sunlight blocking poisonous particles keeping the Earth cool.
What say we H-Bomb a few volcanoes?
