How to effectively protect the earth from global warming by means of advanced sunlight shield equipment
by Hideyo Murakami
International Journal of Global Warming (IJGW), Vol. 4, No. 3/4, 2012

Abstract: This paper proposes a set of Advanced Sunlight Shield Equipment (ASSE) composed of a flat balloon with an attitude control function. Balloon's surface has a mirror function. When ASSE is deployed in the stratosphere, its surface reflects sunlight to space effectively. The gross area of many sets of ASSE amounts to about 2.6 × 10⁶ square kilometre, and when they are deployed, the global average atmospheric temperature value decreases by about 0.7 degrees centigrade. A total cost of ASSE for the average atmospheric temperature decrease is roughly estimated, and it is 1 to 30 × 10¹⁰ euro/year.
