I don't know said:
Just checking, wouldn't these measures make the Earth a darker place?
Darker for the human eye? Not necessarily. A reflector could be tuned to reflect strongly in the IR range, for instance, with hardly any effect on the visible part of the insolation.

Well, I was thinking with relation to mental and physical health - winter depressions, vitamin D deficiency and so on. I guess they could make adjustments for these things as well, then.
