    It’d be much more troublesome to natural growth, wouldn’t it? Because the plants most adjusted to obstruction are broadly ones already liable to be dealing with obstruction before this new obstruction is added on.

      Natural plant populations are already being pretty heavily impacted by climate change, so you’d have to balance out the mitigation potential. If it weren’t for the law of unintended consequences, particularly the potential to substantially alter the planet’s weather, the possibility of termination shock, and the fact that it would most likely be an excuse to continue emitting CO2, messing with solar radiation wouldn’t be a terrible strategy.
