    So clearly we need a different solution than cutting back on emissions.

    I’d argue we might have to start human expansion into space to have any real positive impact. A solar shade, for example, could block out enough sunlight to artificially prevent warming and stabilize the climate while we construct or seek out alternative energy resources.

      Wouldn’t this undermine solar-generated electricity?
