A solar shield that reflects some of the Sun's radiation back into space would cool the climate within a decade and could be a quick-fix solution to climate change, researchers say.
....
Solar shields are not a new idea - such "geoengineering" schemes to artificially cool the Earth's climate are receiving growing interest, and include proposals to inject reflective aerosols into the stratosphere, deploying space-based solar reflectors and large-scale cloud seeding.
Now, the article goes on to say that these aren't a solution to jump at, but I love hearing these ideas.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been soo busy, I have a new post in the works though, reverent to the posting with all the questions.
