Scientists discussed the merits and demerits of pumping sulfur into the Earth’s atmosphere as a temporary “fix” to global warming at a forum hosted in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 21 by the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
The idea is to artificially re-create the effects of volcanic eruptions to temporarily cool the planet.
In 2006, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Paul Crutzen and National Center for Atmospheric Research Senior Scientist Tom Wigley suggested that “geo-engineering” might be used as a quick, but temporary, remedy for global warming. This idea was one of the issues discussed at the AMS forum.
“In particular, Crutzen and Wigley focused on blocking incoming solar radiation, an idea that has generated much interest in the press and the scientific community,” the AMS explained in a posting on the forum on its Web site. “Nature offers an example of how to do this. Volcanic eruptions cool the climate for up to a couple of years by injecting precursors to sulfate aerosol particles into the stratosphere, which has the effect of temporarily blocking incoming sunlight.”

These people need to look out the window before they say such stoopid things about "warming".

Leave the climate alone. These ideas to “fix” global warming by putting particulates into the atmosphere will cause an ice age.
Sick, sick demented liberals.

These people will not stop until they actually kill off humanity.

“...They just need a giant spaceship full of water...go up to the sun and douse part of it. If it’s too hot to get close enough, wait until night...”
FReepers are such brilliant thinkers! I’m proud to be part of this community.
You know, I big umbrella in orbit would do the same thing. You could open it or close it a little to control sunlight. Heck, why not make it thermostatically controlled?!
Acid rain will cool the weather
OMG, the mad scientists are still at it.......
So they want to spew a *real* pollutant into the air to counteract the imaginary effects of a pretend pollutant. Great.
Repealing the Clean Air Act and waiting 30 years would do the trick, but it would be bad for human lungs. So d@mned if we do, d@mned if we don’t.
But...but...that’s...POLLUTING!
How about they just let us go back to high-sulfur coal for powerplants and high-sulfur diesel for trucks and dozers?
What the hell is up jackasses? We spent billions “cleaning up” sulfur so we don’t have acid rain (It went away with the Clinton Administration after being a total nightmare during Reagan). Now they want to bring that back?
What the HELL?
No, Gore won the Peace Prize, the most politicized of them all.
Screwing in new light bulbs, or driving around in the "right" kind of car, is hunky-dory, so far as I'm concerned. Also, IMHO, all of those efforts don't amount to a spit in the ocean.
I get scared when people really try to "fix" the "problem". They might really screw things up in a big way.
If American politicians screw this country up enough, I can always leave. Hard to leave the planet, though.
I think scientists should have to prove they actually have brains before they’re turned loose on society.
If you built the umbrella out of solar cells, you could generate electricity and beam it down to the earth via microwave.
Wait, that would actually work.
(Might not be cost-effective, but it would work.)
I remember “acid rain” when I was in elementary school (1980s).
I read about it, watched a couple of videos about it, and suddenly nobody was talking about it anymore. The next world ending crisis was Global Warming. I suspect the next crisis will be the health and mental side effects of mega-urbanization, requiring the government to spend billions on ensuring that urban dwellers have decent living standards, achieved no less through a liberal use of imminent domain and the confiscation of private property within the urban limits. Meanwhile, the results of socialization of our industries will be an increase in pollution, a decrease in productivity and innovation, and we’ll be right back where we started... with acid rain.

While restricting the use of Coal plants, of course! These guys are nuts!
