Vast weather changes followed some of the monumental volcanic explosions of the past. Sulphur was a component of the gases emitted during those events. You may be thinking about those events and the terrible "winters" that followed.
However, the cause of those cooling stages wasn't the sulphur gas. It was the immense amount of powdered stone, soot and ash that filled the atmosphere.
And the consequences were catastrophic, indeed.
Sulphur will poison the planet rather than save it.
Now, do you want to talk about giant fans? Maybe a "skyhook" satellite system to raise and lower people and supplies from Earth to Space?

It would, when combining with the moisture in our atmosphere, become sulphuric acid and return to earth as "acid rain." Gotta do somethin' else. Go for it!

No, but it probably will cause acid rain/excessive human illness.
