Why not use reduced space-flight costs to lift giant solar reflectors to prevent our poles and ice-caps from being melted? It wouldn't affect insolation at agricultural centers and it would slow warming enough for us to get carbon capture cheaper.

- wildmanx 5y agoGlobal climate is more than just average temperature. Or even "prevent ice caps from melting". It's an insanely complex system that we have only started to understand. There are currents in the oceans and the air, they have complex interdependencies, even with vegetation. If you change this, you may end up screwing up the climate even more.
