The paper considers the usage of solar-sailing ship (SPC) located in the libration points of the Earth-Moon system, which will increase the Earth's surface insolation in order to stabilize the temperature regime of the Earth's atmosphere under the conditions of global cooling. A quantitative analysis of the light exposure in visible and UV spectral regions, which is able to cause offsetting impact on living organisms, is done using methods of geometrical optics. The findings of the light pollution impact on the environment and people are compared with those obtained by other authors. Fundamental technical problems associated with the construction of SPC are formulated.
