The Earth is slowly warming up as humanity emits greenhouse gases which cause the atmosphere to trap an increasing amount of the sun’s energy. But astronomers at the University of Utah believe that one strategy to reverse this trend is to intercept a fraction of sunlight before it reaches our planet. For decades, scientists have considered using screens, objects or dust particles to block just enough of the sun’s radiation – between 1 and 2 per cent – to mitigate the effects of global warming.
