   We should be doing the opposite. Engineering and deploying ultra-light weight material that unfolds into massive solar sails that can be controlled carefully to cast a shadow and cool the earth slowly over the course of decades to counterac

   It might not be as expensive as it sounds. First of all a shadow can be cast using very very light-weight material, maybe even get the mass from objects already in space. Another benefit is that it can be controlled much more carefully than

   Would it be feasible to deploy massive solar sails to cast a shadow and prevent solar heat from hitting the earth, so that over enough time it might reverse some of the effects of global warming?
