Project Solar Shield

Project Solar Shield is an initiative aimed at reducing global warming by deploying reflective particles into the upper atmosphere using high-altitude balloons or aircraft. These particles, such as aerosols, reflect a portion of incoming sunlight back into space, thereby cooling the Earth's surface. The goal is to temporarily mitigate climate change effects and buy time for long-term solutions. While promising, it involves careful consideration of environmental impacts and governance to prevent unintended consequences. Overall, it represents a form of geoengineering to manage the planet’s temperature increase.
