A system for affecting a local parameter, the system comprising:
- a substantially planar floating platform made up flat sunlight radiation reflecting panels and inflatable structures filled with lighter than air gas;
- and
- an aircraft configured to move the platform to a predetermined position chosen based on the effect of the system on the local parameter at the predetermined position;
- and
- a control station configured to receive information regarding local parameters, and, based on the information, issue instructions to the aircraft to selectively position the platform to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.
