US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth

A White House report confirms that the US is open to researching solar radiation modification, or sun blocking. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but some researchers want to cool the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. The outlandish idea is currently trending, after the US voiced interested in studying 'solar radiation modification' (SRM) as a possibility, according to a White House report last week. Advocates claim it could reduce the devastating impacts of climate change, and even refreeze the poles. "SRM offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years," the report states. Earlier in the year, several news outlets also reported that the United Nations are keen to ‘explore’ it.
