Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea
Antiglobalism writes "Scientists say they have found a workable way of reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere by adding lime to seawater. And they think it has the potential to dramatically reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, reports Cath O'Driscoll in SCI's Chemistry & Industry magazine published today."
I read that Texas was the only state (smart enough) to negotiate the right to secede if it wants to in the future.

Forty million years ago CO2 levels were higher than they are today. It's those damn Himalayan Mountains that are the cause of our problems. Before they sprung up the southwest Pacific monsoon seasons watered the Siberian rain forests; now they hit the Himalayas and act as a carbon scrubber. So we had ice ages for the last 35 million years. In the 1970 and 80s environmentalists were saying we were heading into another ice age. Then Solar Cycle 23 came along with its massive sun spot activity and insolation increased, the solar wind kept cosmic rays from striking the upper atmosphere to cause cloud formation decreasing the planet's albedo and then we had the warmest summers in recorded history, if you were willing to ignore the 1930s. Then in January of 2008 Solar Cycle 24 started, and sunspot activity since has been minimal. If we lose the Canadian prairie wheat fields under a mile of ice will we be subsidizing SUVs? Or will we embrace global glaciation, and blame our neolithic ancestors microlith technology for causing the Holocene?
