A method of creating more and longer lasting clouds has been proposed as an alternative idea of reflecting the sun which could be cheaper. Why are desert based reflectors better?
A. Extra clouds would have opposition from many in the public, including sun bathers, farmers and tourists. Q. How much land is required to make a 1 degree cooling of the climate? A. This will be up to the climatologists. I have calculated that if 10% of just the Sahara desert were covered in reflectors then a colossal 288,809 TWh per year can be radiated back into space. This will cool the earth but by how much is not clear at this time.
