Bill Gates -backed plan to block the sun and reverse global warming is one of many exotic ideas now actively funded by Microsoft founder Bill Gates , OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others in Big Tech .

One of the new VC -funded start-ups, Make Sunsets , has already launched balloons over Baja , Mexico releasing sunlight-reflecting aerosols into Earth 's stratosphere.

The firm's concept, cooling Earth by bouncing sunlight back into space via sulfate aerosols, is not new.

Geologist Dr David Kitchen told DailyMail.com that its benefits would be only temporary.

None of the proposals, he noted, would stop acidification of the oceans due to increased CO2, which is already dissolving the shells and skeletons of marine life and threatening entire ecosystems and fisheries.
