The Solar Shade very significantly lowers Temperature on the corresponding world by blocking large amounts of sunlight with a large orbital object. As a result, this facility also reduces Biomass, likely due to blocking sunlight from plants, and removes Credits due to it being labor intensive. While this is very effective, the Aerostat Platform may be a better choice than this because it increases Credits instead of spends them.

Description:
It's a concept of unparalleled ambition, but that doesn't make it impossible: an enormous solar shade, orbiting between the planet's surface and the sun, cooling the entire planet and allowing us to thin the atmosphere. It will be expensive and it will be difficult, but if successful, it will take our efforts at planetary engineering to a whole new level.
