Ice storm!

It should, after all we could place large set of louvers or
blinds in an orbit to shade the Earth, or learn to control
the Sun. Besides, when has funding depended on rational
thought, it is all about the children.

IF you could actually do this, (the problems and costs are immense, and most
of the technology is far from existing) what is to keep this from creating a
problem as large as the possible threat from global warming.

Remember the dark ages? Famine, wholesale crop failures? All because the
solar cycle did not keep the earth within the ideal temperature range, by a
couple degrees.

Climatic science is far from a perfected science. We still do not know more
than we know.

For example, we could prevent the buildup of a few degrees, and when the
solar cycle swings the other way, everything could be too cold. If there
was some extra heat around, the cool-down might just bring us back to
normal. Lots of variables, when we don't even know what the equation is.
