New idea - GW Space ring

[See previous]

Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming

From the article:Only two problems right now: 1) You'll be able to see the ring at night, and 2) it might cost $100 trillion.

Comments:
And it would keep us confined to Earth by blocking space traffic.
 
Anonymous needs to learn something about orbital planes.

Rings have another problem:  they are very inefficient uses of material, as very little of it is on the Earth-Sun line at once.  It would be much more efficient to put "sunshades" just sunward of the Earth-Sun L1 point, where light pressure balances solar gravity.
