"Orbital 'Sunshade': A Promising Solution to Combat Climate Change"
The Planetary Sunshade Foundation is advocating for the construction of a space-based sunshade to combat climate change. The sunshade would be installed at the Sun-Earth Lagrange-1 point and would reflect sunlight back into space, reducing the trapping of heat in the atmosphere. The foundation believes that a sunshade could be a crucial component of global efforts to address climate change, alongside emissions reduction and carbon dioxide removal. While there are uncertainties and governance challenges associated with solar radiation management techniques, the foundation argues that the sunshade has many advantages and deserves investment.
