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.

EXACTLY!!!
That's the only way we can save ourselves from "global warming" ending all life on earth!!!
BOOKMARK!
So the color of the sky might change...I think green would be great, maybe pink.
No,No,No!!!!
Putting sulfur in the stratosphere by passenger jets would place the sulfur high enough to avoid acid rain and other damaging occurrences. HEHE!! :-p
Well, if Global Warming is capable of changing the angle of sunlight as it hits the Earth’s atmosphere, then yes, it’s possible to change the color of the sky from blue (the color at the END of the light spectrum) to another color.
However, I’m not holding my breath. Dorks.
The farmers, ranchers and hunters in Idaho disagree. The big Canadian wolves weigh in at 120+ lbs and kill moose, elk, deer, bison, cattle and sheep. None of the local hunters found squat this year. The same guys that have been successful every year before the 300 maximum pack of wolves grew to well over 1500.
But the earth will still survive. A dead planet, granted, but it will survive.
I'm not much of a chemist but I never heard of elemental sulphur in gas form. It seems to be quite happy as an inert solid in a paper bag in my gardening shed. Whatsup wid dat "gas sulphur"?
That man is no scientist. There are so many flaws in his argument that it would take days to argue. Let us all be reminded that science has filters to reduce the percentage of idiots. The filters are not perfect. However, at least we have filters - unlike journalism.
Um ... sulfur, in its native form, is a yellow crystalline solid. I'm not one to judge too quickly, but I'd like to hear the details on pumping crystals into the stratosphere.
Okay, that was a cheap shot. Presumably the news article got it wrong, and the scientific proposal is for hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs and produces acid rain, or perhaps sulfur dioxide, which reacts with atmospheric water and oxygen to produce sulfuric acid. Those drawbacks are the reasons why we only burn low-sulfur coal and low-sulfur gasoline. I can't imagine the effect on this guy's popularity if he gets his way and has to go through life as the man made the entire planet stink - especially if the Global Warming "Crisis" is dismissed as abruptly as the impending Ice Age of the 1970s.
The wolves are going to take out all the “downer” reindeer and eliminate their mad cow disease vector.
It would have to sulfur dioxide, which fate will be hydrolyzing to sulfuric acid and precipitating all over us. Hydrogen sulfide is actively poisonous so I would think that would rule it out. Besides it’s ultimate fate is the acid anyway, so why poison ourselves?
Australian of the Year last year. He accepted the honour by attacking our former Prime Minister, John Howard, at the ceremony for not doing enough to ruin our econonmy ooops, I mean for climate change.
He's going to become the poster boy for the lunatic left that future generations will use to beat them down the next time they come up with some looney toons idea about climate change!
Take the scrubbers off the coal fired power plant.
Isn’t it interesting that “GW” started right after we started scrubbing stack emissions? Unintended consequences?
We need to introduce Korean hunters into the ecosystem to eat the wolves.
Cool!
Bakersfield already has brown air.
I hope somebody is collecting all these crazy GW ideas so we can showcase them 20 years from now, during the next predicted disaster.
