Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint::According to one professor, we may be able to stop climate change if we used a new super white paint to cover the entire United States

    Considering the recent advance in transmitting power from orbit to the surface in the form of microwaves, if I remember right, I think it’d frankly make more sense to set up an adjustable solar shade that would turn some of the sunlight into electricity up there. This could then be directed elsewhere and used.

    Venetian blinds for the Earth, basically. Except solar paneled.

    Until then, carbon capture is likely a better idea than painting things white. Hell, cloud seeding would be a better idea than painting things white.
