Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming

telstar writes "Though the debate continues around global warming, a new proposal suggests building an artificial space ring around the Earth to block the light of the sun and bring a balance to solar radiation, cloud cover, and heat-trapping greenhouse gases. The ring could be comprised of particles which would scatter the sunlight, or be built by an interconnected ring of spaceships aligned to block the light. The former proposal is estimated to cost anywhere from $6 trillion to $200 trillion dollars, while the spaceship solution would run approximately $500 billion. Halo fans rejoice."

    Global Warming is not science; it is pushed by the PETA crowd, who have been proven to be animal killers.

    Honestly, this is pseudo science; it is not yet fully accepted by anyone accept extreme environmentalists. In fact, there is a lot of evidence that global warming does not exist.

      you are a complete dip wad. the globe is warming., weather patterns are changing, the ice caps are melting, and the gulf stream is slowing.

      the only pseudo science is the crap that the bush administration put out.
