Climate plan could change sky colour [Darwin Alert!]
News,com.au ^ | 5/19/08 | Cathy Alexander

SCIENTIST Tim Flannery has proposed a radical solution to climate change which may change the colour of the sky.

But he says it may be necessary, as the "last barrier to climate collapse."

Professor Flannery says climate change is happening so quickly that mankind may need to pump sulphur into the atmosphere to survive.

Australia's best-known expert on global warming has updated his climate forecast for the world - and it's much worse than he thought just three years ago.

He has called for a radical suite of emergency measures to be put in place.

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.

"It would change the colour of the sky," Prof Flannery told AAP.

"It's the last resort that we have, it's the last barrier to a climate collapse.

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

Great. Now the global dimmers will make the sky yellow.

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.

Climate Changers protest "Climate Change"---so that they can institute "Climate Change".

Dimmingwits should stay off the yellow snow...

Because that's working so well on Venus.

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

The only color change resulting from ‘global warming’ will be the removal of green from wallets of the gullible.

The wolves are good. On the other hand no one, not the fundamentalist environazis, not their opposition, not the talking heads on TV, not NOAA, not the United Nations actually knows what average global temperature is.

They just don't know ~ so it could be going up, or down, and we wouldn't know.

What has happened is there are a couple of glaciated areas in Greenland and Antarctica that are melting. They sit atop active volcanos.

This is not news.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
This is the best laugh I’ve had in a while. So these nuts want to cause “global dimming” to avoid “global warming”. And they want it done in the next five years!
ROTFLOL!!!!!

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.

Never mind that air regs for the past 30 years have been specifically demanding lower sulfur emmissions. How would he propose that the EPA scrap 30 years of dogma and the multi-billions spent installing sulfur reducing technologies on the nation's smokestacks?

Has he ever heared of "acid rain"? God help us what a moron.
