Wouldn't these sunshade concepts all reduce solar energy available to plants as well as total thermal radiation?

- nashashmi 4y agoThis is studied as global dimming. And the effects are bad. Global dimming is happening even now but contradicts the global warming narrative for some reason. In reality, global dimming is worse than global warming. Much of the co2 is absorbed by the ocean planktons powered by sunlight. There are other ramifications too.
