Oceans are hotter than they've ever been in recorded history. Ice Sheets are melting at unprecedented rates. Sea-level rise threatens countless species, coastal cities, and local economies.
As researchers' warnings about the consequences of climate change get more dire, some scientists and politicians are suggesting we do more than just curb our greenhouse-gas emissions — they want to hack our climate.
The technical term for this is geoengineering.

Pure unadulterated crap.
Recorded history? OHHHsss NooooozzzZZzz..
considering the Erf is many many years older than that..
How did it ever survive its creation and all of its vicious previous cycles of atmospheric chaos and tectonic machinations?
Recorded history can be deceptive, ‘observed’ is not always ‘recognized’ .. nor is an impugned ‘truth’ a sure thing.
Just make statements. Ignore all facts
Such jerks
That 16 year old Global Warming Nut in Sweden keeps telling people to Panic ,LOL Want to bet she gets a Nobel Prize and keeps the cash instead of donating it to the cause
What a fantastic post. Thank you.
Does she actually KNOW this as a fact, or did she just pull it out of her butt?
and yet Rich people are still investing in ocean front property...Hmmmm
Should these so-called “scientists” be forced to eat their worthless dissertations before being stripped of their assets and exiled for the rest of their worthless, dishonest lives?
A professor at Rutgers names Alan Robock, who is apparently an expert in geoengineering is quite skeptical. I have actually studied under this gentleman. He is extremely liberal, but he does seem to approach novel things with appropriate skepticism, which is why I can trust his judgement.
Anyway, he fears that geoengineering by a hostile power could lead to awful results, up to and including a nuclear exchange.*
(Full disclosure: if I could wave a magic wand, I would make every nuclear weapon in the entire world disappear. But in reality, the enemies will NOT get rid of theirs, so we had best not get rid of ours.)
"...So the new study offers a different method: the researchers divided up North and South America into 119 regions and combed through all published estimates of pre-Columbian populations in each one. In doing so, authors calculated that about 60.5 million people lived in the Americas prior to European contact..."
Sounds like nearly every anthropogenic global warming estimate I have ever seen, which means it isn't worth a cup of warm spit.
“Oceans are hotter than they’ve ever been in recorded history. Ice Sheets are melting at unprecedented rates. Sea-level rise threatens countless species, coastal cities, and local economies.”
at first i thought this was satire, but when i realized they were serious, i quit wasting my time reading this nonsense ...
“THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!”
Glaciers have been receding since the last Ice Age and will continue to do so until nature starts us on our journey toward the 5th or 6th Ice Age (which was supposed to have started in the 1970s) Chicago should have been under a mile of ice by now.
***50 million indigenous people***
I have better books that state that the number of American Indians in North America probably never numbered more than 2 million, on the high side, and not less than 250,000 on the low side, considering the carrying capacity of the land and their lifestyles of living without intensive farming methods.
Yes, we should be geoengineering the planet to even out climactic extremes in places like the Canadian Arctic or the Sahara - that’s hard to do with a bunch of environmentalists screaming how sinful it is for man to alter the natural world.
Go to Watts up with That and read the truth. None of the bull Obama in the article is even remotely close to true.
What if we stopped building more roads, enlarging roads, and making more parking lots, cutting down trees just to make house building easier, use reflective materials on roofs, decreased house size, and practiced true birth control? MUST be question.
Absolutely. And I will bet those authors didn’t have a political axe to grind either!
A lot of this ‘recorded’ history involved a few thermometers covering continental landmasses and buckets dipped in water in the middle of an ocean
