Not terribly convenient if we're talking about an ice age... So you’d have to recast the walls if the concrete settled or cracked due to a frost heave?

I never hear about purposely placing dust in the upper atmosphere to counteract Global Warming. Would it require the payload of a dozen Saturn 5s.... or thousands?
