Scientist debate theory of fixing global warming by filling atmosphere with "areosols"
Whoa.. hold on there Frances. I was born at night, but not last night.
I'm old enough to recall the 'War on aerosols'. Aerosols were going to destroy all life on earth by creating a 'Greenhouse effect' (aka GLOBAL WARMING). The temps would be about 120oF. in Nome, Alaska (/s) and we'd all DIE from the Heat. Plus, those evil aerosols would eat the Ozone Layer and we'd all get skin cancer and die from that too -- or grow a third arm from the Radiation. [can't recall exactly :-)]
I wish these 'experts' would all get the same memo. This is getting way too confusing.
All attempts to subdue hurricanes were abandon from fear of ambulance chasing lawyers. If you mess with the weather, even if the results are good, you will be sued by every lawyer who can find someone harmed by any weather in the world. Sun burn, catching a cold, dust blown by wind into eye, etc.
Lawyers f up everything.
And besides; what global warming?
I could be mistaken, but I bet if they asked for a grant, the government just might give them one!
In reality, carbon-dioxide emissions globally are on a runaway pace,
Says who?
Am I going to let someone tinker with the climate of earth when I know what growing conditions were like a number of years after Krakatoa, and less so after, Penatubo, Mt. whats its name, etc.
Could we set up a zone for ultra arrogant God candidates, who want to have the power without the responsibility. I think the zone should have bars on the doors and padded cells with lots of busy work to keep their minds occupied.
Too much free time, I’d say.
My thought also...these "aerosols" are described as little dust particles. The smoking gun here is the GAS needed to project or "throw" them into the stratosphere. You will need Volcanic force akin to a reverse Atomic bomb....the picture of these questionable brains is frightening.....
Isn't actually doing something missing the point?
Nail-on-Head Time!
Well, this might work, but only if Obama can spend a trillion dollars on a new Department of Throwing Dirt Into the Atmosphere after Congress passes the 2009 Omnibus Throwing Dirt Into the Atmosphere To Save the Children Act, and Al Gore and his pals figure out a way to make more money out of it.
Great idea! Let's drive our June temperatures into the 30's, 50-some degree days aren't cool enough.
Question: does this “year without a summer” prove or disprove “Global Warming”?
First he will create the position of Throwing Dirt Into the Atmosphere Czar!
Didn't these people get aerosols banned?
Global cooling trend since peak in 1998 is in. Crops will be down this year....rain and cool temps still prevail in US. Govt. aerosol plan in the name of anything is a dangerous boondoggle. Successful cooling measures in the face of a period of global cooling could produce great famine..we might get famine anyway without govt. interference.
A useful site for daily info re global cooling and US temperature records on the downside set this year thru this month are at:

The climate on this planet was not mean't to be artificially engineered by man and I believe that any attempt to do so will have disasterous consequences.
Unless the AGWers can locate where the extra heat is hiding out, it doesn't exist. It could be hiding deep in the ocean, but to date no temperature survey has located it. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to warm an ocean 1 degree. There's no way this much energy could hide.
Climate is modulated mostly by clouds, the most common aerosol. Man engineers dams, lakes, rivers to control the second half of the rain cycle. Very little fresh water makes it to the sea anymore without a small group of mostly conservative male engineers deciding when and where. Influencing the first half of the rain cycle is not that much different. While playing with the global climate is foolish, creating man-made clouds for water and weather control is a local issue. Most clouds exist lower than where airplanes fly and rain out within 20 miles, so each state can decide their own climate without UN control.
Global warming?
Here in MA it’s barely hit 70 since last summer.
Just like kudzu controlled erosion in the South.
