Given that all else fails to stop global warming, and action is taken soon
enough that a 10 percent reduction in the solar insolation factor over the
EM band around 10^-6 m, from latitudes 50 to -50, can stop or reverse the
warming, then the following is suggested as a rough first estimate of how

Hey Horace,
Given that powdered metals in general make good catalysts for
chemical reactions, I'm not sure they are appropriate for
this application. Wouldn't something inert and light ( Boron perhaps )
be better? OTOH, if you could tailor the catalyzed reactions
to clean and repair the upper

If the payload is not sensitive to G-forces why not just rail gun pellets up
to the necessary altitude and disperse with a shaped charge? Low cost,
known technology. Space fireworks...
Such a system could allow non-permanent low orbit clouds of which the
density could be cost effectively

Harry,
That is James Lovelocks gender assignation; I have a hard
time thinking of a planet as having a penis or a vagina.
OTOH, I've never seen a man give birth to something, so
it's maybe more analogous to a woman than a man.
Many fathers are absent, and the earth remains beneath our feet.

No kidding! What did they put in orbit and how did they get it there?
