Why not this instead?

Sounds like another case of treating the symptoms instead of the problem, really
Personally I think it's a huge risk, given that we can't accurately predict with any certainty what the effect of reducing direct sunlight will have on the wider environmental systems
Cover the sun side with solar cells while you're at it.
We don't know who struck first, us or them, but we do know it was us who blackened the skies.

This was a main plot point in Highlander II: The Quickening.
God, that was a shitty movie.
why not just build u own planet

If the line is from Matrix, I think he is referring to the actual scene from Animatrix. Literally the worst idea ever.
Best idea ever! Why didn't we think of this earlier!

No really, i am not sure if this is a good idea or not. I mean could we accidently over compensate and create a new ice age?

SRM should never be conducted. Instead we should focus on carbon offsetting by planting additional trees and refining existing methods of carbon storage. We also need to cut back on the production of meat, since methane is an even worse greenhouse gas.
Plant. More. Trees.
When I've got some money I want to just buy a big chunk of land and leave it to grow however it wants to grow. Might throw a handful of tree-seeds out here and there but I'm not going to tend to it or anything.
The farmers on either side would probably get pretty grumpy about weeds spreading from my land into theirs but bugger em
Highlander 2 already did this.
Reminds me of Angry beavers Mission to the big hot thingy they built a dam that shaded the earth
This just in: Researchers find that dark places are cooler than being out in the broiling sun light.

I already said this.
SIDE NOTE: The only saving grace of that movie was Sean Connery (Ramierez) sitting on a plane, macking on the redhead next to him. . .
"You know what they say about women with red hair? (whispers) They like to sit on men's faces."
A funny line to begin with. . .but made even funnier by Connery's accent.
"You know what they shay about women with red hair? They like to shit on men's faces."

An ice age doesn't just happen like that, it takes centuries, if we saw signs of that happening we would just stop or warm up the planet again(because we're very good at warming it up).

It's a bad idea. The Earth has a very long time left, we're just going to have to be able to sustain ourselves. So far, not so good.
Although I agree we must every drop of oil and every last resourceful fragment of some element, to make sure we are good to go when our planet is starting to reach its eventual doom.

is not good.

It's "scorched the skies".
Terraform Mars. I want to live on Mars.
