The idea of putting something between Earth and the Sun to help combat climate change isn't a new one. In fact, some have suggested using space bubbles, while others have said that we should mine moon dust and throw it up into space to create a shield. However, the most likely solution could be a giant space parasol that began as a fringe idea and has quickly gained steam over the years. As I noted above, the idea of using a giant parasol in space isn't new.
With Earth at its hottest point in recorded history, that sounds like a good thing, especially if we want to avoid any climate doom loops that may be coming our way. https://youtu.be/BbmAGC_fGnU?si=Ma-vGsnnHqZ1Dzox And we don't even need to block all of the sun's radiation. If we can just create a large enough blockage to shade Earth from just two percent of the sun's radiation, we could cool the planet by up to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the scientists estimate.
