18113. GLOBAL WARMING: A TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH TO A SOLUTION. This paper is concerned with a 2006 Science News article that describes a possible technological approach to solving the problem of global warming. The approach calls for the use of a trillion tiny spacecraft, equipped with shades, which would orbit the sun and reduce the amount of light that the earth receives. It is argued that this approach is both impractical and wrong-headed. It is further argued that a better approach is to work to reduce industrial pollution, which prevents sunlight from being reflected back into space. KEYWORDS: science technology global warming.
