When jets crisscross the sky and cause cloud cover, the surface
temperature is reduced. Does this affect the atmospheric temperature as
well? Or does it just lower the recorded surface temperatures, while
the atmosphere continues to warm?

If the governments are putting barium and aluminum in the sky is it a
valiant effort to save the planet, or are they just trying to skew the
data (the apparent cooling since 1998 for example).

Given that the bulk of the atmosphere transmits most electro-magnetic
radiation and doesn't absorb it, the only way to warm/cool the
atmosphere *is* to warm/cool the surface.

That makes sense.
