"Solar shield: Scottish scientists believe an asteroid could be moved into position before a giant cloud of dust is blasted from the surface to act as a sunscreen"
Scottish scientists have come up with an intriguing new idea to combat global warming - blasting the surface of asteroids to create giant clouds of dust which would act as sunscreen for the planet.
Researchers at the University of Strathclyde believe a suitably sized asteroid could be moved into a position close to earth before a giant cloud of dust is blasted off its surface.
And because an asteroid creates a gravitational pull, the dust is held in position rather than being gradually dispersed across space.
