It’s come to this. With Earth at its hottest point in recorded history, and humans doing far from enough to stop its overheating, a small but growing number of astronomers and physicists are proposing a potential fix that could have leaped from the pages of science fiction: the equivalent of a giant beach umbrella, floating in outer space.
The idea is to create a huge sunshade and send it to a far away point between the Earth and the sun to block a small but crucial amount of solar radiation, enough to counter global warming. Scientists have calculated that if just shy of 2% of the sun’s radiation is blocked, that would be enough to cool the planet by 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7 Fahrenheit, and keep Earth within manageable climate boundaries.
The idea has been at the outer fringes of conversations about climate solutions for years. But as the climate crisis worsens, interest in sun shields has been gaining momentum, with more researchers offering up variations. There’s even a foundation dedicated to promoting solar shields.
Proponents say that a sunshade would not eliminate the need to stop burning coal, oil and gas, the main drivers of climate change. Even if greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels were to immediately drop to zero, there’s already excessive heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
A sunshade would help stabilize the climate, supporters of the idea say, while other climate mitigation strategies were being pursued.
“I’m not saying this will be the solution, but I think everybody has to work toward every possible solution,” said Szapudi, the astronomer who proposed tethering a sunshade to an asteroid.

Gee, it’s raining on my leg.
A couple volcanoes do this every year...
There is no climate crisis. There is only a crisis of intelligence.
Drinking and physics-ing is NOT recommended.
This reminds one of the spaceship in the movie Lifeforce.
I read an “apocalypse” fiction book about that once. They put up the sun blockers...but miscalculated. The earth started freezing. They had to rush to find the system to “open up” the shades.
It was a ridiculous concept. But fun to read.
SpaceX will soon be equipped to do this. But, whoever does this will get sued into oblivion for every snow storm or typhoon that naturally occurs.
I suggest launching thousands of liberals with dollar store umbrellas into space instead.
Fortunately, this is NOT going to happen.
These climate grifters are trying to figure out how to steal money, not spend it.
They have latched onto CO2 because it is the product of man’s prosperity. There is no other reason.
A huge space umbrella? This would actually be amusing, except that every dollar towards this nonsense is one less dollar towards medical research, fixing bridges, etc.
Such ignorant morons. The cross dressers of scientific reporting.
2-How much area do you think it would take to shield us from the sun?
Its a STUPID idea!
True.
AND!
There is virtually ZERO CO₂ in the atmosphere.

There is no ‘climate crisis’.................next question............
What climate crisis?
If it DID work and it could be built and implemented, it would NOT do what the WEF wants.
They want to create a global tax to fund their agenda.
Solving the problem isn’t their goal.
Lex Luthor, a fine young lad in Smallville, tried this. It caused him to go bald and become enemies with his best friend Superboy.
This is a ‘solution’ in search of a problem.
There is no climate “crisis” except in the minds of the globalists.
You shade the earth, your plant life suffers and crops will fail. You will have engineered a deliberate global famine.
You are the carbon they seek to reduce.
