Even if there is global warming, all you have to do to correct it is to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface, by about 1% or 2%. You can do that by
placing in orbit "artificial clouds".
These can be as thin as tinfoil, and 1500 miles above the earth, so they would never be seen.
(That's Dr. Edward Teller's concept, and it's a simple fix.
But it doesn't lend itself to the "crisis atmosphere"
that some on the left want to create.)

According to the recent paper by James Hansen (pro warming NASA scientist), the number is about 0.85 W/m^2, which is less than 0.1%.

Great suggestion. I've read it before. But of course it's ignored by the lying leftists who don't really want to fix the problem as much as they want to curtail all human economic activity (except for socialist planned economic activity with them as the bosses and us as the slaves).
