We can and should control surface pollution as that effects air quality yet there is a huge difference between controlling air quality as that remains constant in cold or warm environments while temperatures constantly fluctuate from day to night, month to month and year to year, in the Western isles of Europe we are having a particularly cool and wet summer.

The basic concept is the same as that underpinning the "white roads" idea -- the development of a technology that can reflect a proportion of the sun's radiation away from the earth's surface and back out into space, thereby cooling the atmosphere and slowing, or even reversing the damaging effects of global climate change.
