Writing in the International Journal of Global Warming, a team in China has done the calculations and they suggest it might be possible to lower average global temperatures by a third of a degree Celsius with such a shield. This could have a significant, low-cost impact on climate change when we consider that fractions of a degree rises in temperature are already causing serious problems at the Earth&#8217;s extreme environments.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-06-shields-global.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Shields up to beat global warming<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Might an enormous orbiting &#8220;shield&#8221; be one way to combat the rising temperatures around the world caused by elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels?
