Yep just what we need, start screwing with things we have no idea about.

Oh, Lord, the mad scientists are loose!

“Cloud-seeding ships could combat climate change”

In the same way that a blind ant might battle an elephant....

[NonValueAdded]

We're having enough trouble with cloud formations out over the ocean, thank you very much.

[Pikachu_Dad]

The lawyers will eat this proposal up when it changes certain local climates for the negative.

Did that seeding cause the last hurricane?

See, that’s what happens when they put down Dungeons & Dragons for a while and try to think.

No no no no no no

I hang my head in shame.

Plan 9 creates Ice 9.

[Clay Moore]

Is this to fight globull warming or the coming ice age? It’s hard to tell without a score card.

Either way, WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!

[airedale]

What arrogance.

[pallis]

The global warming scam is bad enough without the kooks doing things to control climate. The present cooling trend will put a chill on this nonsense soon enough.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Every “idea” the loony envirowackos come up with usually ends up only making matters worse. Look at our “pristine” forests that our burning down because they are no longer being managed properly. They all need to go sit on one of those smokestacks and stop screwing around with the planet.

[Old Professer]

Nuts; I liked it better when they proposed dumping liquid methane above the tropopause to make more ozone; amounts to the same thing and it could be done with just a few space flights.

Or, they could just leave the earth alone and maybe it’ll keep on spinning unimpeded and unaltered.

[Myrddin]

The lack of sunspots should lead to increased gamma radiation. That will increase cloud nucleation. There is no need for this silliness. If anything, it will accelerate what may well be the leading edge of another ice age. If you think warming is bad, just try growing crops in the snow.

[headstamp 2]

This is getting comical. The arrogance and idiocy is astounding.

[goarmy]

The Soviets boasted back in the 70s that they could change the weather by seeding with silver iodide via bombers. Turned out to be just another fraudulent claim.

During the Olympics, China boasted that their seeding efforts swept the smog out of Beijing in time for the Opening Ceremonies. No proof whatsoever to suggest that they even lifted a finger to alter the climate so as to bring about wind to blow the pollutants away.

We’re specks of dust on this planet. To think otherwise is vanity.

[Deinococcus radiodurans]

Well it’s definitely a better method of fighting climate change than imposing taxes to stop you from doing things, like the demoncrats want to do.

Not to mention it cost a lot less than welfare:
Cost of Welfare in 2000: $434.4 billion
Cost of building these ships: about $5.3 billion
In other words this cost about 1/100 of the cost of welfare.

Not to mention that building these ships probably makes more jobs than putting people on welfare.

[blasater1960]

Somebody clue these people in.

We going through a remarkable period of no sunspots. Last time like this was the little ice age.
