Hey do you think that China's plan to launch artificial moon on space can act as planetary sunshade? Maybe this could be the purpose of it, rather than them wasting funds on this artificial moon because it will look pretty and Instagram worthy. Maybe this artificial moon will have a positive effect and will protect us from global warming getting worse.

Their goal seems to be the opposite; to reflect sunlight onto the night-side of the planet. It's probably too small to make much of an impact on the climate though.

Perhaps, and I hope that this is really not that big because then what about the nocturnal animals? If this is going to be seen in the whole world then it might affect them in the long run.
