The EU wants to 'shade the sun'.

The EU may have to resort to shading the sun if other measures fail to prevent global warming.

The EU is exploring techniques involving large-scale interventions in natural phenomena, such as blocking solar radiation, as part of a new strategy to address climate change and prevent alarming rates of global warming.

Bloomberg reported on June 27 that a draft document outlining the implementation program could be released this week.

The document's content is said to assess the consequences of rapid global warming, its impact on water resources, or food shortages. It also analyzes the risk that this situation could trigger new conflicts or large-scale migrations in the future.

Projects under consideration include deflecting solar radiation or preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface and causing changes to the weather. In other words, the EU is researching the possibility of shading the sun and cooling the climate.

In addition, the document is expected to address potential solutions as well as the risks involved if implemented.

"The EU will support international efforts to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the risks and uncertainties associated with climate intervention, including the modulation of solar radiation," according to the document, which is still under revision.

This option is being considered amid global concerns that the goal of keeping global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius may not be achieved.

According to some sources, sunshade measures can also lead to side effects, such as changes in rainfall patterns in certain areas.
