Wouldn't it make more sense to blow dust out of moonscape by using thermonuclear devices, although this is bad for satellites, it could create a rotating dust cloud to dim some of the sunlight. It would destroy astronomy, but save the Earth? Albert Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:25:51 -0800

Good observation otherwise, but the thinned ice breaks up and scatters more. If you look at satellite pictures a few years ago the sea ice was not nearly as fluid as it is today. The North Pole sea ice is predominantly arranged such a way that some of the regular geometries resulting from

If there were need to have a counteracting agent (that would not have long life span like CFC's), I would think that the carbon black could be used to trap heat. However, as an aerosol, it also acts as a condensing surface, creating cloud droplets, and if flushed to snow, darkening. The
