Global warming is continuing to get worse. It's destroying our land
and killing our people. But what if there was a way to stop it almost instantly? We might not even need to sacrifice our cars or change what we eat. Instead, we could build a shield to block out the Sun. How would this help with climate change? How possible is something like this? And could this end up being a bad thing for Earth?
