    The “Right Dose” Of Sun Dimming Could Cut Global Warming Effects In Half, Study Says

    The “Right Dose” Of Sun Dimming Could Cut Global Warming Effects In Half, Study Says

    The “Right Dose” Of Sun Dimming Could Cut Global Warming Effects In Half, Study Says

    New research out of Harvard suggests that the “right dose” of solar geoengineering (SG) – spraying tiny reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to filter the Sun’s energy and reflect incoming sunlight – could cool the planet and curb the effects of climate change without adversely impacting some regions.

    Article continues, but I'm reminded of this:

    Wasn't that the concept in Hughlander 2? Some sort of shield stopping solar radiation? I think I watched the movie once but gave up halfway through.

    @taniwharugby oxygen kills us. The diseases of old age are a result of cells giving up the battle against explosive old oxygen
