When the concern was global cooling, there was serioius scientific discussion of painting the ice caps black so they would melt. Conversely, now we are talking global cooling, may I suggest we paint the ice capes white to reflect the heat.....

Why don't we send all the scientists to the north pole with snow making machines or freezers or something. At least it would get them out of our hair.

"It is happening now. We cannot afford to wait a long period of time for technological solutions," said David Rind of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York.
Poor Davey. Just because it's happening now doesn't mean that it's being caused by humans, especially when human contribution to global warming is less than 3 tenths of 1 percent, if that is even a significant difference beyond background.

***One activity in the north is hunting of marine animals using sea-ice as a platform. When sea-ice retreats, it affects the communities up there," said University of Washington oceanographer Michael Seteele. ***
PEOPLE!!! We've got to quit using our cars so the Eskimos can hunt seals. Do it for the Eskimo children.

When you consider that we are at around 300 degrees Kelvin it takes very little output change from the sun to make a big difference over the narrow range of temperatures we thrive in.

And even if it's not, it's perfectly natural. The Vikings were farming on Greenland 800 years ago and there were palm trees growing in southern England. Then, more recently, 200 - 300 years ago, we were in the midst of the "Little Ice Age" and people were ice skating on the canals of Holland and on the River Thames. We fail to understand what a big deal George Washington's and his troops' survival at Valley Forge was - the winters were much more severe back then. Now, we are slowly coming back to normal, as the remnent of the "Little Ice Age" recedes into history.

Yup, only 38 succesful missions between the two. Columbia flew 28 missions and Challenger 10.

Muttly fix.
Everybody paints their roof WHITE...more energy reflected back up. Planets heating up, it happens, not in our control. Everybody wear white hats. Fixed.
You're welcome.

We fail to understand what a big deal George Washington's and his troops' survival at Valley Forge was George Washington was encamped on his own property. He had purchased Valley Forge long before the war.

I clearly recall in 1966 people worrying that if prices continued to rise at their present rate, we'd be paying $30 a loaf for bread by the year 2000. It's about $2 a loaf now, and people gripe, but in 1966 dollars it's about right where it was then. Pay no attention to that funny man behind the sheep.

Pseudo-scientific reports like this from what's supposed to be a scientific organization
point out that NASA needs a radical makeover. NASA -- stop wasting the taxpayers
money on junk science and enviromental wackos.
