Without reading the article, sounds like one of those idiots who proposed covering arctic snow with oil to help absorb/hold in the heat in order to combat the climate catastrophe du jour - Global Cooling
He should be terrified.
Climate is a complex system, vulnerable to minor changes in input such as solar radiation, dissolved gas and pollution.
He is smart enough to know that and wonders: “what if I’m wrong?”
Dr. Watson, I presume you paid for that giant banky for the glacier out of your own pocket.
Ice-nine?
I’ve even heard serious suggestions about setting off nuclear weapons in order to trigger a “mild nuclear winter” effect as a preemptive measure. That is, before any signs of global warming even exist.
BTW, I saw the movie and it was ultimately depressing and riddled with preachy leftist nonsense. I normally like train movies, but not this one.
Considering the “expert” modeling has been so consistently wrong, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume the solutions could be equally wrong. Undintended consequences are a bitch.
Another clueless academic who wants to Gruber the environment.
To paraphrase Gruber, “We never dreamed our theories would ever actually be implemented on such a vast scale!”
What was the name of that movie...? Earth had frozen over after scientists tried to reverse global warming. People were living underground. One group had turned cannibal.
Wonder if any other dominant species in the universe has been dumb enough to contemplate cooling an ice age planet during one of its brief inter-glacial periods ? The good news is that might make us historic in the universe. Dumbest dominant planetaty species ever to exist ! Were number one !
I don’t care who is doing it but it would be nice if they quit spraying crap in the sky globally. Thank you.
Yup.
Does he not know the meaning of the word: EXPERIMENTS?.....some times the fail, some times they are successful, some times they go BOOM!......................
I propose the world governments give me a couple trillion dollars worth of gold and oil. I will make it all better.
Warming is probably the easiest geophysical problem to fix. Just reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth with orbiting screens etc.: mission accomplished. That’s why all this “global warming apocalypse” stuff has always been bs. “Catastrophic warming” can be reversed at any time with relatively minimal cost and effort.
We’ll put reflective particles in the atmosphere to limit solar gain.
Not to worry. If the earth cools off too much, we’ll sprinkle the ice caps with graphite to increase solar gain.
A little positive feedback loop never hurt anything.
Stoopit and mighty full of himself.
If they are such great ideas, why haven’t we heard of them and how horrible they are?
Alarmist putz...
Wake me up when a *real* scientist has something to say.
Yeah, well, watch the movie “Snowpiercer” to see a fictional take on the results of man’s desire to stop ‘Global Warming’.
There are only two things that frighten me, Vanessa: climate “scientists”, and carneys...
