I'm starting to think some kind of shade megastructure in orbit might might be the only solution to lowering global temperature. I know that light exerts pressure and that keeping it in place would be a major challenge, but still.

Isn't it easier/cheaper to build infrastructure for renewable energy and make laws that disincentives consumption of products with large external costs?

Why explore exotic untested and potentially dangerous geo-engineering before even trying to apply the solutions people have known for decades?
