"Proposed Giant Space Umbrella to Cool Earth's Climate"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology are proposing the development of a massive umbrella-like shade the size of Argentina to block the sun's rays and mitigate the effects of global warming on Earth. The one-million-square-mile shade, to be positioned nine million miles from Earth, could potentially reduce the Earth's temperature by 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit within two years. While the project is ambitious, critics have raised concerns about its incredible cost and potential risks, suggesting that funds could be better allocated to reducing emissions and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
