I don't disagree with where you are going, but I think there might be easier ways to geoengineer than mirroring sun directly back out into space (unless I miss my mark at what solar geoengineering is - if so, I'm sorry). I cound't find it, there's also the "plan" to release megafauna into the midwest and pay to have them "sheparded" so they become a commodity instead of a liability, creating grasslands again.
EDIT: typo
- alexose 5y agoThe approach really should be to do _everything_. I love the idea of reforestation, sustainable agriculture, etc., but there's a ramp-up time inherent in all of these. The advantage of solar geoenegineering is that the effects would be relatively instantaneous.
