The problem is, by the time the debate is fully settled it may be too late
to do stave off a catastrophe. We must act on the basis of incomplete and
unsure information.
This makes several assumptions: The first one is that human activity
is causing climate change. I don't believe that this is the case.
There is an increase in Sun Spot activity, and there is evidence that
this is caused by large rocks hitting the Sun. This conclusion is
buttressed by the evidence that Mars is heating up too. Then there
are the under sea volcanos. The second assumption is that we can do
anything about it.

To make up for a 2% decline in solar radiation, you need enough Mylar
to reflect approximately 2% of the daylight earth's surface area, or
3.6 million square kilometers. That sounds doable to me.
Only 3.6 million square kilometers! You and that artist, I think his
name is Cusco, the guy who wraps things in plastic film should get
together. This gives new meaning to grasping at straws!
