A group of scientists has proposed building a giant space curtain to reduce global warming and shield Earth from solar radiation.
Spanning as much as 4 million square kilometers, this megastructure aimed to fight “climate change” would be located about 1 million miles from Earth, in an area known as the Sun-Earth Lagrange-1 point, according to The Messenger, a news website launched in May.
The point marks the area between the sun and the Earth where the combined gravitational forces of the star and planet create equilibrium that allows a spacecraft to be “parked,” according to Space.com.
Upon installation, the structure could reduce the amount of heat from the Sun trapped on Earth due to greenhouse gases by deflecting sunlight toward outer space, Space.com reported.
That said, according to The Messenger, it is unclear how such a solar curtain would affect the light Earth receives from the Sun or whether the blocking of sunlight heading to Earth will bring forth unexpected consequences.
The idea is being proposed by scientists who are part of the Planetary Sunshade Foundation, a group whose website declares that “climate change is getting worse.”
The amount by which global temperatures would fall once the structure is in place is “variable depending on how long it takes to cease carbon emissions, how quickly carbon can be removed from the atmosphere, and whether society wishes to partially mitigate global warming or restore pre-industrial temperatures,” Planetary Sunshade Foundation research director Liz Scott noted in a 2022 report.

This would save money & also keep her out of trouble-making for the rest of us.
Why bother with the suit? Seriously, I wonder what the credentials of these "scientists" are.
But won’t the boiling oceans cause the sun shades to fail and fall onto our cities? ;-)
“Scientists Propose Radical ‘Sunshade’ Plan”
Crap, there goes my investment in solar panels.
Stop with the “warming” con job.
Scientists???
We need a.clearer distinction between science and science fiction…
If you are going to propose a stupid idea, always propose something so ludicrously expensive that it is highly unlikely to be acted upon.
That way it doesn’t get implemented and you won’t get blamed when it fails spectacularly.
The sun kills germs. Ae they crazy?
They’ve just admitted the cause of warming is the sun.
Only 15 trillion dollars and a trillion dollars every year to maintain.
today’s science is all political science. classical science died when algore rose to prominence. when XY and XX became Xwhatever, true science died an ignominious death.
How much sunlight is the correct amount?
Send her to planet Mountain Dew. Maybe all her dreams will come true.

Sniff sniff... I smell BS and a faint odor of grant money...
“Only 15 trillion dollars and a trillion dollars every year to maintain.”
They won’t have to maintain it, or even build it. Just appropriate the MONEY. Thousands of politicians, contractors and other assorted grifters are salivating at the thought of their cut. And FJB is undoubtedly ready to sign!
Wait...What?😮
Aren’t we already doing this with blanketing the skies with chemtrails?
BArium and ALuminum shading out the sun for decades
Exactly, it’s just getting annoying! So called climate change is just a Trojan horse for a Marxist dictatorship! If lefties want something like that, they should just immigrate to the Marxist hellhole of their choice!
