A method of reducing solar irradiance the Earth receives includes placing a solar parasol in sun-synchronous orbit between the Earth and the Sun. The solar parasol provides a reflective shield that faces the Sun. The reflective shield is supported by a frame and a method of positioning the solar parasol in sun-synchronous orbit. The shield may include a coating layer and a gold film layered over the coating layer on the sun-facing surface of the shield, while a heat sink is provided on an opposing surface of the shield.
