Scientists Propose Plan To Re-Freeze the Arctic (inhabitat.com)
Kristine Lofgren writes: In case you've been under a rock for the past 20 years, the Arctic is melting super fast. Certain *ahem* governments are dragging their feet doing anything about it, which means the planet could be in for a spectacular meltdown within the next 20 years. But a clever bunch of scientists have hatched a plan to re-freeze the Arctic using wind-powered pumps that will bring water to the surface, allowing it to freeze. This new layer of ice could last well into the summer, which is vital, because scientists think summer Arctic ice could be gone by 2030 -- and that causes a whole chain of terrible events that will only make our climate change problem much, much worse. The plan has a $500 billion price tag, but that's pocket change compared to the cost of dealing with an ice-free Arctic. The study has been published in The American Geophysical Union's journal Earth's Future. You can read more about the study via The Guardian.
I want to see them do it only because it's the most idiotic scheme I've ever heard of.
Didn't you get the memo? The resources aren't finite, they're infinite. Oil grows back because it's not fossil fuel. Silly evolutionists, how could it be fossil fuel, the Earth is only 6000 years old!
Well DUH!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I can't wait until your faggot denialist ass is surely dead.
Don't worry, it may be entirely ineffective, but we're going to make the polar bears pay for it.
This article has everything!
In case you've been under a rock for the past 20 years
Condescension.

Alarmist bullshit.

Anti-American political bias.

More alarmist bullshit.
But a clever bunch of scientists
The valiant, altruistic and truly honest heroes of the new religion of science.
(I'm all for scientific discovery, but not fellating people for it)
a plan to re-freeze the Arctic
Mad scientist bullshit.

What could possibly go wrong?
scientists think summer Arctic ice could be gone by 2030
My money is on that statement being added to this list.

Golly gee, that's a lot. Who's getting it?

Ah yes, of course, of course, so it's these people then?
