"Space-Based Giant Parasol: A Climate Crisis Solution?"

Scientists are proposing the idea of deploying a giant sunshade in outer space to block a small but crucial amount of solar radiation, enough to counter global warming. Interest in sun shields has been gaining momentum as the climate crisis worsens, with various research teams exploring different approaches such as scattering dust deep into space and creating shields made of "space bubbles." A team of scientists led by Yoram Rozen from the Asher Space Research Institute at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology is ready to build a prototype shade to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept, which would involve a series of smaller shades casting slightly diffused shade onto Earth.
