Solar Shield could stop global warming

From NewScientists "A solar shield that reflects some of the Sun's radiation back into space would cool the climate within a decade and could be a quick-fix solution to climate change, researchers say." ...

"Solar shields are not a new idea - such "geoengineering" schemes to artificially cool the Earth's climate are receiving growing interest, and include proposals to inject reflective aerosols into the stratosphere, deploying space-based solar reflectors and large-scale cloud seeding."

Many environmentalists want to reduce man's footprint on the earth. These back-to-nature environmentalists detest large scale industries because these industries mold the earth and its raw materials to serve the selfish interests' of humans. These radical environmentalists love the current global warming scare because it gives them an excuse to push for limiting human economic activity. It would be very ironic, therefore, if the optimal solution to global warming involved large scale geoenginering of our planet.
