Geo-Engineering to stop Climate Change

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 12, 2007 @03:00AM from the trying-to-make-a-better-tomorrow dept.

MattSparkes writes "Following the latest report of the United Nations climate change panel, there has been a flurry of renewed interest in so-called geo-engineering. This is the theory of using technological schemes to stop climate change. These can range from sun-shades orbiting the Earth, to pumping millions of tonnes of sulfur into the atmosphere to the bizarre idea of painting the ground white to reflect more light. Let's reduce our emissions now, before I have to go and paint my roof bright white." Thanks to jamie for pointing out another potential solution of seeding the southern oceans with iron to spur plankton growth.

How about changing inclination or hey its orbit?? by gd23ka · 2007-02-12 03:24 · Score: 1, Troll

I'm pretty much sick and tired of all this UN global warming FUD
and so here we are stuck with yet another debate on bad science,
bought science and science with an agenda and then we'll move
on to what science as an organized religion has in common with
say catholicism and clamor for the excommunication of the
heretics who dare question the holy doctrines.
