National Geographic - Space Debris as Shade

I've only ever bought two editions of NG. I bought this month's (July) because it has a long article on where the big boys are headed with the new generation of giant telescopes, the largest being 42 metres of scope. And in next month's (August) there is a brief introductory article on bizarre proposals to shoot millions of tons of reflective particles, such as sulfate, into space to provide shade and protection from global warming. Has anyone heard of this from sources other than NG? It'd sure put a quick end to astronomy.

Mike.
