[Loyal Buckeye]

What if they turn th temperature down too low and we have global cooling? I think we need a restraining order put on the environuts.

Upon first reading, I thought this was of Scrappleface origin.

[PATRICK HENRY USA]

Oh this is great journalism. He writes the "US" but never quotes any agency. The one that looks crazy is the crazy aussie writer.

[Maceman]

God help us when the government has power to impact the climate.

We need a Constitutional amendment, and a global treaty, outlawing attempts by governments and global organizations to interfere with the climate.

"The US wants the world's scientists to develop technology to block sunlight as a last-ditch way to halt global warming."

This would be a stupid thing to do... "It's not wise to fool mother nature."

[agere_contra]

Anthropogenic climate change is blithering nonsense - but I guess it might be useful one day to be able to reduce the effect of a massive solar flare.

So did I ...

You mean it isn't? People actually want a big giant deflective mirror around the earth?

"The US wants the world's scientists to develop technology to block sunlight as a last-ditch way to halt global warming."

It's been done over and over.

It's called a "Volcano".

The heads of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:

[B-Chan]

Smithers: Well, Sir, you've certainly vanquished all your enemies: the elementary school, the local tavern, the old age home...you must be very proud.

Burns: [stuffing money into his wallet] No, not while my greatest nemesis still provides our customers with free light, heat and energy. I call this enemy...the sun! Since the beginning of time man has yearned to destroy the sun. I will do the next best thing: block it out!

[lesser_satan]

I really like global warming. Tell the eggheads not to f$%k it up.

[colorado tanker]

I doubt this is possible, but heaven forbid if these idiots really could reverse the warming and trigger cooling. Another glacial period would not be good news for mankind.

[The Blitherer]

Me too.

[Calvin Locke]

The Lathe of Heaven comes to mind, too.

[Calvin Locke]

A defective mirror? What's that? You look up into the sky and see Algor or Laurie David looking back?

Oh, deflective...
