The ideas sound like they&#39;re from science fiction novels, such as a huge space umbrella to filter the sun&#39;s rays. However, they are gaining credibility with some scientists, since the cost of addressing GHG is currently astronomical. Were we to go this route, where countries are able to &quot;place their hand on the global thermostat,&quot; I think we would need to have a stronger international community/regulating structure to monitor the process and adjudicate among nations who want different things.
