A new study published on Wednesday suggested that a deep-space umbrella of lunar dust could help slow the effects of climate change.
The study, published in the PLoS science journal, explains how a cloud of lunar dust launched between the Earth and the sun could block some of the solar radiation that warms the Earth.
This research offers new support for a lesser-known corner of solar geoengineering, a field that seeks to scatter or reflect solar rays before they hit the Earth.
The European Union is actively studying this idea, and the Biden administration has also started looking into it.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has been reviewing comments on a five-year research project aimed at a “scientific assessment of solar and other rapid climate interventions” to curb global warming.
Solar geoengineering — like many other prospective planet-scale techniques to partially slow climate change — strikes many climate scientists as an enormous and unnecessary risk.
A group of 380 scientists signed an open letter last year calling on world governments to pledge to take solar geoengineering off the table.

WTF is a PLoS science journal?
Insanity.
Again with the climate change.
if only we could block the warming effects of the sun by polluting more.
ROFL
I suspect that this would be because they know we are entering a cooling cycle, and they want to turn it into an epic ice age in the name of population reduction.
Basically they believe it’s made of government cheese and they want some.
This is getting dangerous.
They have zero possibility of making such a formation stable. The gravitation of the earth and the moon will gradually deform the cloud and possibly move it ever closer to the earth, producing a moon dust cloud directly entering the earth’s atmosphere, with unforseen consequences.
Do not accept the premise.
They must want colder winters. What is the advantage of colder winters? These would be permanently colder winters, since it would be impossible to send clean-up space ships to sweep up all the moon dust.
These people are insane.
Scatter the dust in the wind. The sun will blot with dust in the wind
I’ll close my eyes
To all the hot emissions of a Saturn V
We’ll mine the Moon
For a million tons of dust to keep the earth alive.
Dust from the Moon
All we need is Dust from the Moon.
Same old song
All the Global warmists want us all to sing along
Their statistic’s range
Don’t support their theories, so it’s “Climate Change”.
Dust from the Moon
All we need is Dust from the Moon.
Just hang on
Nothing lasts forever, and this too shall pass,
just be strong
Keep riding antique Harleys, and cook with GAS
Dust from the Moon
All we need is Dust from the Moon.
Why can’t we just put a giant COVID mask over Earf. They have proven to work.
You mean I can make a decent living writing about solving Climate Change with moondust? I feel like my career was wasted.
In his spare time can Elon Musk make a magical, perpetual motion train like in Snowpiercer so that some of humanity could survive the human caused ice age?
Let’s just intentionally mess around with the ecosystem. Unless it’s as fragile as they say, what could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, because the Ice Age was so much better than the warm periods of the Older Person, Bronze Age and Roman Warm Periods.
