I'm going to reveal my ignorance, but is this a genuine idea that has been floated by researchers/engineers?

The usual suggestions are to put the foil in low earth orbit or the L1 point, but geosynchronous might be easier politically https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade
