Global warming has become such an overriding emergency that some climate experts are willing to consider schemes for partly shielding the planet from the sun's rays. But no such scheme is a magic bullet.
"With a $5-trillion price tag for putting a sunshade in space, maybe it's easier to build wind turbines and solar power plants instead"
I'll say!, and with far less potential of unpredictable and unwanted consequences. What do you think?

Hmm this is an interesting way to solve the temperature issue but it doesn't address the environmental issues! I too would rather spend large sums of money on Green Technology :) Besides that invention may just encourage people to pollute more if they think the problem was solved...
