This OP needs max attention. These threats need to be recognized as not being in some distant future but here, now. And it will become exponentially worse.

🌳 📣🌳 Will These Massive Geoengineering Projects Fix the Earth—or Break It?
Best idea from the article (my hubs and another NASA scientist, a DUer in fact, also had THIS very idea!!):
"Researchers are also looking into launching a giant parasol into space to manage the amount of solar radiation hitting Earth. This idea has been around for decades, but has only recently gained momentum.
For example, a 2018 paper from the Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management describes launching what the authors call the HSS, or Huge Space Shield. The plan is to put a thin, wide sheet of carbon fiber into a Lagrange point, which is a relatively stable point in the complex system of gravitational pulls between the Earth, moon, and sun. The sheet would only block a small portion of solar radiation, but it could be enough to drop global temperatures below the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit set by the International Panel on Climate Change.
We voters need to champion these ideas. Our very lives will depend on our actions.
Thank you, Matilda! 🙏
