The basic concept is the same as that underpinning the “white roads” idea — the development of a technology that can reflect a proportion of the sun’s radiation away from the earth’s surface and back out into space, thereby cooling the atmosphere and slowing, or even reversing the damaging effects of global climate change. Several models have been put forward as to how such a feat of “geo-engineering” might actually be achieved, most involving the positioning of a reflective shield of some sort out in space. As early as 1989, for instance, in an article entitled “Space-based Solar Shield to Offset Greenhouse Effect,” James T. Early of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California, proposed siting a vast, 2000 km-wide glass deflecting panel at the “inner Lagrange point” between the Earth and the sun, the latter diverting the sun’s rays away from the Earth’s atmosphere. Similarly in 1992 the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) put …
