Scientists Explore Giant Space Parasol to Combat Climate Change
Scientists are exploring the potential of a gigantic space parasol to combat Climate change, as global warming accelerates. By blocking a mere 2 percent of the sun’s rays, Earth’s temperature could be reduced by a critical 1.5 degrees Celsius. This concept has evolved from speculation to serious scientific inquiry, with teams proposing various models and even planning to build a prototype. Critics argue the focus should remain on reducing emissions and removing atmospheric carbon dioxide, but proponents argue that every possible avenue must be explored to mitigate climate chaos. This sunshade wouldn’t replace the need for traditional climate action but could buy us time to implement sustainable solutions.
