Could Space Mirrors Cool The Globe?

The video discusses the increasing carbon dioxide emissions causing global warming and explores potential solutions like space mirrors and volcanic aerosols. Space mirrors, though intriguing, face challenges like stability and practicality. Volcanic aerosols could mimic natural cooling but come with high costs. Other methods include enhancing cloud reflectivity and surface albedo. However, these solutions may have side effects, such as altering weather patterns. Ultimately, the video emphasizes the need to reduce carbon emissions as the most effective solution.
