Is there any reason why global warming couldn't be mitigated by pumping sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere?

I'm trying to wrap my head around why there isn't more attention to this from the public, and more effort to bring this potential solution to light. The sulfur produced by oil and gas extraction sites would provide more than enough feedstock, and it's a simple process to convert it. Obviously there are some challenges (getting the SO2 as high as it needs to go), but are there any reasons this wouldn't be a viable solution?

Mainly because Sulphur dioxide is a huge air pollutant. It is *the* major component from which acid rain is formed. Add sulphur dioxide to water, skip a few steps, and you get sulphuric acid. 

Nasty stuff. We really don't want any of that in our atmosphere. What we're currently pumping out is already too much.
