An astronomer has proposed to reverse global warming by creating a giant sunshield to protect the planet.
Professor Roger Angel thinks he can diffract the power of the sun by placing trillions of lenses in space and creating a 100,000-square-mile sunshade.
Each lens will have a diffraction pattern etched onto it which will cause the suns rays to change direction.
He intends to use electromagnetic propulsion to get the lenses into space.
If work was started immediately Prof Angel thinks the sunshield could be operation by 2040.
He said: Things that take a few decades are not that futuristic.
If you really want to save the planet then stop cutting down the rainforests and plant trees, millions and millions of trees. It's that simple, really :)

Why not just ignore it and not get drawn into the whole big lie about global warming, they have now stopped calling it global warming and instead use climate change because the earth is now cooling.

I didn't see the part where he explained why he's developing new lenses to bend the sunlight. Why not just use currently available opaque materials to block the sunlight.
Wouldn't that me less costly and more efficient at the same time?
Does anyone know?
