Yep just what we need, start screwing with things we have no idea about.

Oh, Lord, the mad scientists are loose!

“Cloud-seeding ships could combat climate change”

In the same way that a blind ant might battle an elephant....

We're having enough trouble with cloud formations out over the ocean, thank you very much.

The lawyers will eat this proposal up when it changes certain local climates for the negative.

Did that seeding cause the last hurricane?

See, that’s what happens when they put down Dungeons & Dragons for a while and try to think.

No no no no no no

I hang my head in shame.

Plan 9 creates Ice 9.

Is this to fight globull warming or the coming ice age? It’s hard to tell without a score card.

Either way, WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!

[airedale]

What arrogance.

[JohnBovenmyer]

We don’t need more clouds, we need more sunspots to prevent the coming ice age! I suggest throwing Michael Moore and Gore at the sun and see if they stick.

[sionnsar]

Fortunately there are a lot of “if”s in that article.

[driftdiver]

Question; are these the clouds that keep warmth in or the clouds that prevent the sun from warming the earth. We gotta make sure we are making the right kinda clouds.

The global warming scam is bad enough without the kooks doing things to control climate. The present cooling trend will put a chill on this nonsense soon enough.

Every “idea” the loony envirowackos come up with usually ends up only making matters worse. Look at our “pristine” forests that our burning down because they are no longer being managed properly. They all need to go sit on one of those smokestacks and stop screwing around with the planet.

The GW “deniers” (me for instance) and the moonbat “watermelons” will find common cause opposing such schemes. The former, because it's risky and unnecessary. The later, because it just might work. If it worked; then there would be no reason to shut down advanced, western, oil-based economies. The reds hiding in a green rind don't care about the environment — they want to destroy western capitalism.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Just get us more sunspots. They make the right kind of clouds.
