The idea has been at the outer fringes of conversations about #ClimateSolutions for years. But as the #ClimateCrisis worsens, interest in #SunShields has been gaining momentum, w/more researchers offering up variations. There’s even a foundation dedicated to promoting #SolarShields.

The idea is to create a huge sunshade & send it to a far away point between the Earth & the sun to block a small but crucial amount of #SolarRadiation, enough to counter #GlobalWarming. #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°C, or 2.7°F, & keep Earth w/in manageable #climate boundaries.
