  2. The idea is to create a huge sunshade & send it to a far away point between the Earth & the sun to block a small but crucial amount of #SolarRadiation, enough to counter #GlobalWarming. #Scientists have calculated that if just shy of 2% of the sun’s #radiation is blocked, that would be enough to cool the planet by 1.5°C, or 2.7°F, & keep Earth w/in manageable #climate boundaries.
