I get the impression that the author is serious.
Holy Acid Rain, Batman, do you think they’ve thought this through?
I’ve always said this. Even if everything that Al Gore says about anthropogenic global warming is true, fixing it is just an engineering problem.
Dismantling the world’s economy to lessen global warming is like amputating your hands to stop smoking.
Or insane. All we need is for some looney tune to actually CHANGE our climate. Ice Age, anyone?
I think I have the solution to “cooling the earth”..everyone on earth should leave their refrigerator doors open..the cold air will so cool this helpless planet..Do I have to think of everything?????
Ninety-nine percent of the $3 billion federal Climate Change Technology Program should still go toward developing climate-friendly energy systems.
I suggest ceasing federal funding to the global warming we are all going to die industry and we'll probably find the idea of throwing soot into the atmosphere to block the sun is a really unnecessary idea.
Aren't these the same dumb-shits who caused glo-bull warming when they over-corrected for their "coming ice age" in the 1970s...
The only problem is, some weather scientists think we may be on the cusp of an ice age.
Do we really want to toss a bunch of stuff into the stratosphere and then find out a few years down the line that, oops, we really screwed up and it’s getting very cold?
It’s like all the PC types saying that we need to control overpopulation, spreading free condoms throughout the world with your tax dollars, and then suddenly noticing, about 20 years too late, that populations are imploding and there aren’t enough workers to support the old folks, not to mention a hundred million Chinese males who will never have wives.
Oops, back to the drawing board.
I’m sure a scientist could come up with environmentally friendly chemicals that would cool the atmosphere. But that takes all the good stuff away from the global warming hysteria like all the harsh regulations, higher taxes, socialism, etc.
I think the author has been breathing too much carbon monoxide. Maybe a little lead was in that air, too. Something just ain’t right in his head.
We already make man-made clouds via waste heat at factories, jet aircraft, and ocean ships. We can cheaply make more. Why cool the whole planet when we just need to cool the narrow latitude where the temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Glaciers and polar ice cannot melt a drop if the temperature is a fraction below 32 degrees.
This is the right track. Instead of endless debate about what’s causing the planet to warm up, it’s way past time to shift the focus to learning how to control it, in both directions. I”ve seen the particle idea before, but alongside another, safer sounding suggestion to put some large reflector structures into orbit. The obvious relative benefit here is that such structures could easily be moved or brought back down again, if and when they were not getting the desired results. Collecting zillions of little particles would be a heck of a lot harder.
Do I have this right? Now, air pollution is good?
Yeah, that .117% of newly generated CO2 each year made by man is just terrible. /s
SIMPLE SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING:
NUCLEAR ENERGY. LOTS OF IT.
I know lets stop giving paper bags at stores and switch to plastic. That will save the trees. Then we can sink a whole bunch of old tires into the ocean and it will form a new coral reef. Then we stop controlled burns because that just pollutes the environment and kills plants.
Yes envirowacko ideas work all the time.
and they interfere - then another Volcano lets loose and we're plunged into a 2-3 year ice age of failed crops etc...
Leave things be! The earth - and the sun, which has the most effect of what happens down here - has been adjusting and readjusting for millions of years - cycles within cycles - and doing a far better job that man does at anything...especially government.
Government screws up everything it touches - these nuts have to be corralled
We would need to ‘cool’ the Earth if we could determine what the actual temperature of Earth was supposed to be.
I’m sure somewhere Nostradamus or Da Vinci or De Sade wrote down the exact ideal temperature of the entire Earth and we’ll only need to adjust it to get back to that point.
I sure hope it wasn’t the perfect temperature back in the 1600s because it was really, really hot back then.
This is not to say that we should give up trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ninety-nine percent of the $3 billion federal Climate Change Technology Program should still go toward developing climate-friendly energy systems.

why???????? why if you admit it won’t make a dent?
Because. Must. Worship. Gore.
Must. Screw. Economy.
Om.
