Climate change: Scientists test radical ways to fix Earth's climate

[PROCON]

What could go wrong?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

So then salt will be classified as a pollutant, too?

[donna]

Those aren’t scientists.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Can you say "the law of unintended consequences" children? I knew you could."

[Telepathic Intruder]

This is what I’m afraid of, that “climate scientists” will start intentionally mucking with Earth’s climate. I’ve even read in Scientific American that some were speculating about setting off some nuclear weapons to create a ‘mild’ nuclear winter effect.

[smvoice]

Lol!

Nothing that a 10 billion dollar government grant to study WHAT WENT WRONG. AND THEN, HOW TO FIX IT!

[wastoute]

Libtards and their unintended consequences.

[Lurkinanloomin]

These people scare me more than natural processes do.

[treetopsandroofs]

So... Chemtrails.

Sorta like “No one would ever spy on a political campaign!” becomes “Trump should be HAPPY we spied on him!”

[Zathras]

From the guys who said “low flow toilets” would fix CA water problem.

[treetopsandroofs]

“So then salt will be classified as a pollutant, too?”

A POISON, like dihydrogen monoxide.

[tet68]

Crazed Boffins to seed clouds at north pole with Sodium Chloride!
It’s for the children they say.

South Pole already too cold, giant mirrors in orbit
proposed solution.

[I want the USA back]

Climate is complex. People who don’t understand it shouldn’t muck with it.

They fail to acknowledge the fact that weather is the means by which the Earth rids itself of excess heat and attempts to equalize temperatures.

They are too stupid to see that the Sun bathes the planet in heat during the day, and that the planet radiates most of the heat off into space during the night, and that cloud cover influences that radiation - heavy clouds, heat retained, light clouds, heat radiated. One of their harebrained schemes would increase the cloud cover. Can you say “stupid”?

[RatRipper]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

[BitWielder1]

Storms over the ocean doesn't whip up enough salt already?

[arthurus]

These "fixes" are actually becoming possible while the Sunspot minimum has us at the beginning of another Little Ice Age such as iced over the Thames in Dickens' day and quite likely triggered the French revolution in France because the crops failed a couple of years in a row due to long delayed end of winter. The previous minimum ended the colonization of Greenland because crops could not be grown there any more. We need the higher CO2 for the next two or three decades to offset the natural cooling a bit and we sure as hell don't need artificial cooling. If these "fixes" get started - and EPA says they are underway - they will be continued no matter what happens because of government inertia and the population reduction that the Left desires will occur due to multi years of deepening famine as crops fail to grow much north of the equator.

All this has to be known to the brains and scientists that are attempting to freeze us out and I can only conclude that the results are both inevitable and intended. And as seems to be a Law of Technology, if something can be done it will be done no matter how inimical the results will be.

[digger48]

How do we know, with 100% certainty, that Industrial Wind Turbines aren’t effecting the climate?

Or large solar fields?

[Mrs. Don-o]

It will investigate radical approaches such as refreezing the Earth's poles and removing CO2 from the atmosphere How about we cure acne by doing head transplants?

[\/\/ayne]

When I was a boy I read a kid’s science article about Global Cooling and a theory to fix it: Set off H-Bombs at the proper places to tilt the Earth’s axis and bring on Global Warming to save us all. Also, Global Warming would allow us to grow more crops and solve the Population Bomb problem.

[hal ogen]

Do we get to kill these anti-science, politically-compromised losers if they screw it up (and their extended families)? They could end-up murdering all of us. They should be beaten with their lousy, never-read dissertations.
