   Re: Cheap method to cool the earth

   Assuming it would work and the dust wouldn't be too radio active and   
   one could retrofit however many scores of satelites would be affected   
   and you didn't trigger some sort of "Space: 1999" scenario, blasting   
   Lunar dust into Earth's atmosphere would seem to be at most a one-shot   
   or N-shot thing and not sustainable - there is only so much Moon up   
   there and if you mess with it too much you will affect its orbit an/or   
   the Earth's tides and such.   
      
   Unless the root cause of Earth's warming is the quanity of sunlight   
   reaching the surface, it is also only treating symptoms.
