Why not cover the roof of every building in the world with aluminum foil.
That would reflect a lot of heat back in to space and reduce the Earth’s surface temperature.
IN the spirit of full disclosure I don’t own any Alcoa stock. No none at all. ;)

The Aluminum Foil would actually get hot from the Sunlight. But hey, if they suggested that, it would make sense because they need anything to make things hotter and prove their point.

I thought that since it’s not warming, the issue had been renamed ‘climate change’.
In the summer it's called "Global Warming" because people notice it's kinda warm.
In the winter, "Global Warming" is a harder sell so they call it "Climate Change" instead.

The Aluminum Foil would actually get hot from the Sunlight. Yes the Aluminum Foil would get hot from the sunlight but it would get considerably less hot than say black roofs of most commercial buildings or black asphalt shingles of homes.
Aluminum foil reflects radiant heat.

That goal is limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. But there’s another view, embraced by many countries (which tend not to be the big emitters), suggesting that a safer target involves limiting global warming to just 1.5 degrees C. Yeah, that's an interesting debate. How many Climate Syentists can you put on the head of a pin?

“....the window for achieving this goal is small and rapidly closing.”What is it with these people? Everything is a crisis and we have to do something right now or even yesterday. There's no time to waste. The sky is falling!
Problem is, they have given us these imminent deadlines multiple times and these "red lines" have come and gone and nothing ever happens. And just why is that? Because this is the biggest scam against mankind every perpetrated. So many people have bought into these fraudulent claims that it's scary that these people walk among us.
This hoax by the ideological Left has been going on for over four decades and the earth is still here and the climate is still changing like it always has since the beginning of time. I'm still waiting for the world to burst into flames at any moment but nothing every changes.

All they need to do to fix this global warming fiasco is start funding global cooling research.
