Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming
(from Livescience.com)
"A wild idea to combat global warming suggests creating an artificial ring of small particles or spacecrafts around Earth to shade the tropics and moderate climate extremes."

Let's see, who could possibly object to a scheme like this? Oh, I dunno, how about
everyone who lives in the tropics???
* Slagiatt: Seemed like a good idea at the time.

On that note, I wonder if the scientists who proposed the spacering are from around here, originally? It would certainly explain why they wouldn't think that anyone might object to an omnipresent shadow.
