WASHINGTON (AP) — The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air.

That's a good idea. God already thought of it, except he uses REAL TREES.

I've read that accounting for trees in the US, that we are a net reducer of CO2--our forests "eat" more CO2 than the country produces and we take some of the CO2 from China since they have destroyed almost all their forests.

When does Obama become certifiably crazy?

AAAAaa what crazy crap!

Does Zero understand how really, really big the Earth is and how very, very small a paylod of a rocket would be.

Imagine tossing a payload of what? Ash? Burnt leaves? (an an amount about 3 times the size of my desk) into the atmosphere and just what little that would accomplish!

Hey Zero we are already tossing pollution particles in the atmosphere, but YOU want us to stop!!!

UnFreakin Beliveable.

Yeah, why doesn’t China catch any heat (pun may or may not be intended) for this? China is the brownest country in the world. While we thought we were being so smart and green, we only exported our brownness to China (and multiplied it in the process).

It’s April. I’m in SC. Plum fruits are forming, my tulips and bluebells are blooming. And it was 34 FRACKIN’ DEGREES THIS MORNING.

They are absolutely insane and should be taken to the looney bin.

The global warming machine is working doubletime to ram massive change through before the scientific evidence for global COOLING becomes overwhelming. From the best unbiased sources I can find, it appears the Earth has been cooling at an accelerating rate since 2002. Just recently more JASON satellite data was released that showed no sea level change for the last three years, and only 10 mm change since 2002. That is quite inconsistent with warming, but very consistent with cooling.

The bad news for those pushing human-caused global warming is that according to the best (IMO) solar theories, we’re looking at another 15-25 years of cooling. That happens to coincide with the cold phase of ocean systems in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Volcanos are the wildcard, but Redoubt is providing at least some cooling influence. Redoubt is fairly small as volcanos go (at least previous eruptions have been), but the volcanic influence can only get stronger, not much weaker. A big eruption right now could be quite bad.

To quote spaceweather.com:

“The lack of sunspots in 2008, made it a century-level year in terms of solar quiet. Remarkably, sunspot counts for 2009 have dropped even lower. As of March 31st, there were no sunspots on 78 of the year’s 90 days to date (87%).”

Most likely there’s a really cold winter coming this next time. This solar minimum is looking more and more like the start of a real Minimum, like the Maunder Minimum.

bbbb . . . . bbbbbbbb . . . b b b . . . but I thought it was all the plooshin partickles that my grill, truck, lightbubs, and cows were putting into the air that was causing all this globular warming? I am so kungfused. /s

“The radical ideas I’ve heard on this involve putting tiny mirrors in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space.”

They keep this lunacy up and there will be no need for mirrors in the atmosphere: the sudden proliferation of tinfoil hats will be more than enough to reflect anything the sun throws at us.

Perhaps we could NASA to send Obama on a solar mission to establish face to face talks with Sol, without preconditions.

In his case,

birth, works for me.

Welllllllll . . . to be fair . . . how about say around age 12-16?

Whatever age he began believing the hideous insane nonsense his grandparents and parents spouted to him.

Add in whatever age he began believing his own press reports.

Now we have to add on the delusional grandiosity his being Selected by the oligarchy to play White House Puppet or

PINC—Puppet IN Chief

entails.

Perhaps we should shoot some carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All the charts I’ve seen show that once carbon dioxide reaches a certain concentration, temperatures start to fall.

Another geoengineering option he mentioned was the use of so-called artificial trees to suck carbon dioxide . . . At first that seemed prohibitively expensive, but a re-examination of the approach shows it might be less costly, he said.

If it is so expensive, why not use real trees?

These people are loons.

Boy, you said it. And America must be insane for electing this guy, and for allowing ALL of this nonsense to continue. This is crazy... just insane.

Good idea, borrow Cheney’s hurricane machine!

These people are truly dangerous on so many levels. Truly frightening.

Actually,

given all the givens . . . it’s kind of a wonder that he hasn’t proposed

uhhhh . . . blessing

the world

with technologically amplified and directed samples of his flatulance

as a solution to global warming and harsh weather.

Or maybe he has a contract to bottle the stuff as a new perfume and air ‘freshner.’

He probably even thinks of his . . . uhhh . . .

processed food toilet deposits

as golden substance to be enshrined in roadside prayer shrines or perhaps marketed as . . .

samples

of what traitorous, Communist, globalist, satanic thinking produces from common dirt.

In short, he’s SOME-PIECE-A-WORK!

Except, no one knows when or where that happened...

That would be a good article in the digital notebook. Happen to remember how or where you found it?

We could cool the earth by putting an additive in jet fuel that would cost less per year than the President’s inaugural celebration.

But why would want to keep getting colder?

Oh no, don’t say that. The UN will declare North America a carbon repository and we won’t be able to cut another tree!

Why don't we just stop this whole crazy train now by demanding he shows a legitimate birth certificate or not be permitted to re-enter the country?

I can dream...
