These people are Marxists, and they know exactly what they are doing.
I know.
That's why I said it.
I have a son who has a meteorology degree (which he notes is not the same as climatology). He described these global engineering schemes to fool Mother Nature as “a very, very bad idea.”
It’s one thing to affect global aborption and reflectivity. But, one of the biggest side effects is that you have to guess on how long something of this scale will stay aloft. If you’re wrong on its decay characteristics, you could overdo it and be talking ice age.
So Obama DOES have a plan - “Plan 9 From Outer Space.”

By the way, Irene is the first Atlantic hurricane of the season. In all of the years of record-keeping, we've never had a year where the first eight named storms never made it to hurricane status.
The mystifying thing is
the officials admit that the critters are chronic liars.
Yet they still believe them and do horrendous traitorous things at the critters’ behest. Sheesh.
Idiots on parade.
Not really. Having the understanding of atmospheric dynamics necessary will be a good thing when the next Ice Age commences, and we need to "geoengineer" the atmosphere to make it warmer. Best choice is apparently nitrogen trifluoride. VERY strong greenhouse gas, and its half-life in the atmosphere is in the centuries range.
Wouldn’t this qualify as “secondhand smoke?”
I think they mean more fiercely and frequently hyped hurricanes.
Didn’t he save Lois? ;-)
Exactly right. Unfortunately, these so called scientists will not get any grant money.
This idea brought to you by the same experts who thought planting kudzu in the South would be the ideal way to prevent soil erosion.
It is just nuts to contemplate using volcanic activity to offset global warming for so many reasons. They can't even predict with any certainty which volcanoes are going to erupt and when over the next 5 years. What happens if we get several big eruptions right after they stimulate one?
Are they then going to burn up a bunch of oil to offset it?
I still want to know why they aren't planting a bunch of trees to take care of the CO2? That seems to me more logical, and certainly less dangerous.
Can we find them another planet to experiment on — and send them all there?
Theoretically, it may be necessary to act globally to mitigate the damage. Initially, those efforts will probably take the form of limits on greenhouse gas emissions or forest preservation. But some scientists and policy makers believe it might be necessary for scientists to take an active hand in engineering a solution to our climate problems."

See? They know nothing. They even say so.
The global temperature is always in flux, just like the stock market and the value of commodities and currencies. And just because global temperatures are going up, doesn’t mean the ice caps will melt, anymore than if the temperature is going down it means a second ice age. Unless something really extreme, like a second ice age, is definitely in the offing, who says that it’s even a bad thing.
Mark Twain in Life on the Mississippi jokingly hypothesized that since the length of the Mississippi had consistently been getting shorter, in a few hundred years it would be only a few yards long.
“In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower
Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles.
That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year.
Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic,
can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period,’ just a million
years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upwards
of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out
over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token
any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now
the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long,
and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together,
and be plodding comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual
board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science.
One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling
investment of fact.”
Meaning they will do something without clear knowledge of what they are doing or why.
Insanity begot my insanity.
.....Insanity begot BY insanity.
