    As far as untested tech solutions to climate change go, I’ll gladly take artificial albedo over the “let’s blot out the sun” that they’ve been floating the last few years.

      Orbital mirrors. Artificial mangrove islands covering the southern Atlantic. Algae bioreactors in every commercial building.

      There’s lots of things to try, and… Ones a hell of a lot easier to throttle or reverse, and don’t involve making the air more toxic for humans by nature.

      Can we please start trying things, but not the one hard to stop where we purposely pollute the skies?
