There’s a high-stakes variational calculus problem. For what seasonal temperature profile do we get the best long-term minimum for the sum of “deaths due to extreme cold” and “deaths due to tropical diseases whose vector insects are stymied by extreme cold”.
Huge, thin mirrors in orbit over the equator that reflect light that would have hit the equator to the area of earth experiencing winter.
