Create a dust cloud to slow global warming?

"To combat global warming, scientists in Scotland now suggest an out-of-this-world solution — a giant dust cloud in space, blasted off an asteroid, which would act like a sunshade for Earth.
The world is warming and the climate is changing. Although many want to prevent these shifts by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases that trap heat from the sun, some controversially suggest deliberating manipulating the planet's climate with large-scale engineering projects, commonly called geoengineering."
Interesting. Seems a bit risky but it gives one hope..

Yikes. I looked it up and sure enough at the end of the Eocene era, the intense global warming was responsible for mass extinction of flora and fauna.
Carpe Diem, guys.
Carpe Diem, guys.
Just watched something this morning that said during the Eocene era, both the North and South Poles average temperature was around 60-70 degrees....
Specialmom, you've got me laughing too.
Rivil, I don't like this idea because sometimes what sounds like a great idea to cure a problem they tend to make things worse. For some reason it makes me think of Hawaii. They brought in mongooses to eat the rats.
However rats are nocturnal and mongoose are not, so instead of eating rats, they've decimated the bird population by eating their eggs.
I'm afraid this cure may make things worse.

Ha, well, I'm glad I made you laugh! I had planned on working on my dust cloud tomorrow but maybe will hold off for the better good of the world!
OMG, I cannot stop laughing...that was a good one. ROFL
LOL!!
Interesting!
I'd be afraid the dust would come back to cause issues for our health though. ?????/
When I saw the title of this post I was thrilled with my contribution to keeping America cool. There could be a cloud of dust over my own house at any given time depending on how far behind I am with the cleaning . . .
