If so look in the December 2006 on page 31. The title is A Glare Guard For Space. The reason why I ask this is because I would like you opinon on if we should proced with the planes. Please E-mail me at jones152005l@yahoo.com. Thanks.Does anyone get the magazine Popular Science?
I do not get Popular Science, but I have heard proposals to put a sunshade in space to reduce the solar energy reaching Earth and so solve the global warming problem. This would definitely work, but I think it is too soon to proceed. What if we cool the Earth too much? Who would be to blame? If NASA put up the shade and Finland or some other country had a bad winter, would the US have to pay damages? It would be a political nightmare. With great power comes great responsibility. If we can really control the weather, then if somebody doesn't like the weather is our fault. Do we want to take that responsibility? Yes we do if massive bad stuff has already happened that can be 100% blamed on global warming, but when was the last time the world agreed 100% on anything? Even if sea levels rise 100 feet and we put the shade in place, somebody in the world would sue us anyway, but if we put it up now, before sea levels rise at all, EVERYBODY will sue us!
