Does this need to be put at a lagrange point to be stable?
It's a very interesting idea but seems like this could have enormous unintended consequences.
- Tepix 7y agoYes, at Lagrange point 1 between the Sun and Earth. This approach has a big advantage: If it has some unwanted side effects we can rather quickly stop doing it. That's unlike some other proposed solutions such as creating clouds by spreading stuff in the upper atmosphere.
