Idiots who believe in the global warming hoax are willing to do damage to the atmosphere to "fix" a "problem" that isn't a problem. The same brand of idiot that "introduced" Canadian wolves to Idaho and Montana.

Additionally, the entire world would smell like flatulence, and then we would have another ice age.

Are there actual credentials and standards required to be a climate scientist, or can anybody be one? /s

I am so sick of these morons. It doesn’t matter that the planet has been cooling for a decade and that carbon does not drive temperature. All that matters is that every feckless, slack-jawed imbecile gets his or her little theory to save the planet out there for public consumption.

The gas sulphur could be inserted into the earth's stratosphere to keep out the sun's rays and slow global warming, a process called global dimming.

Because that's working so well on Venus.

Clouds of sulphuric acid and surface temperature hot enough to melt lead.

Flannery is the one who came up with the idea to smear all “global warming denier” scientists by accusing them of being in the back pocket of “big oil.” He’s a fraud.

They were just telling us a few months ago that Mars’ warm era was due to sulfur in the atmosphere. Mars now has a CO2 atmosphere in their current frigid era.

Wrap your mind around that.

Well, if Global Warming is capable of changing the angle of sunlight as it hits the Earth’s atmosphere, then yes, it’s possible to change the color of the sky from blue (the color at the END of the light spectrum) to another color.

However, I’m not holding my breath. Dorks.

I'm not much of a chemist but I never heard of elemental sulphur in gas form. It seems to be quite happy as an inert solid in a paper bag in my gardening shed. Whatsup wid dat "gas sulphur"?

That man is no scientist. There are so many flaws in his argument that it would take days to argue. Let us all be reminded that science has filters to reduce the percentage of idiots. The filters are not perfect. However, at least we have filters - unlike journalism.

Um ... sulfur, in its native form, is a yellow crystalline solid. I'm not one to judge too quickly, but I'd like to hear the details on pumping crystals into the stratosphere.

Okay, that was a cheap shot. Presumably the news article got it wrong, and the scientific proposal is for hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs and produces acid rain, or perhaps sulfur dioxide, which reacts with atmospheric water and oxygen to produce sulfuric acid. Those drawbacks are the reasons why we only burn low-sulfur coal and low-sulfur gasoline. I can't imagine the effect on this guy's popularity if he gets his way and has to go through life as the man made the entire planet stink - especially if the Global Warming "Crisis" is dismissed as abruptly as the impending Ice Age of the 1970s.

Take the scrubbers off the coal fired power plant.

Isn’t it interesting that “GW” started right after we started scrubbing stack emissions? Unintended consequences?

Didn't we just add sulphur scrubbers to all coal burning power plants? Now the Australian Man of the Year for 2007 wants us to put sulphur into the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, this guy is for real and he was named Australian of the year, last year. He used to run the South Australian Museum.

He actually is an old bone “scientist” (From the ABC “ Tim is the Principal Research scientist at the Australian Museum in Sydney. He started out, though, doing a degree in English. After graduating, he found a temporary job at the Museum of Victoria in their Vertebrate Paleontology department. This led him to a second degree in Earth Sciences, and from there to a doctorate with the Zoology department at UNSW.”) —not a real climate scientist, but he has written many books.

He likes to attack Bjorn Lomborg, but won't have a debate with him. Luck for us, he has moved to Sydney and accepted a position at Harvard. With any luck he will move to the USA.

Last year he wanted Australia to immediately shut down all of our coal fired electrical plants. He also claimed that the polar bear population has already drastically been reduced due to warming, even though the Canadian told him he was crazy.

The most unfortunate things is that he is the right hand adviser to Mike Rann, Premier of South Australia, for the environment and has the ear of the new Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.

The guy has become rich because of this books on climate change which the wackos are buying worldwide.

I know the guy and he is likable, but he is a total flimflam man. I just hope he moves to the USA and leaves us alone.

This guy is so dim that he should volunteer to have himself ground up into tiny particles and injected into the upper atmosphere if he wants to do us a favor. That might help more than "the gas sulphur" which is not a gas last time I got to play with it in inorganic chem lab.

No way this moron is a climate scientist with any kind of training that would credibly justify that title. Probably saw Prof Gore's presentation and that was all the education he needed.

Most of these ideas are goofy at best and eventually discredited. The question I have is a man like this was able to convince one country to implement this idea or even convince just one man with a bunch of money (Al Gore) to do this on their own there isn’t much the rest of the world could do to stop it is there...?

Then put the sulphur back into diesel fuel (that you recently demanded be removed) and everything will be fine.
