These jerks haven’t the least idea what they are doing.

And if it turns out that we are entering a little ice age instead of global warming, and they manage to make things colder, then what are they going to do.

“Oh. Sorry. Give us another government grant and we’ll fix it. I’m not sure quite how we’ll get that stuff out of the stratosphere, but we’ll think of something! Just pay us more money and give us a few Nobel Prizes!”

Why don’t they just squirt a lot more ozone up there? Say, some high-flying drone aircraft to just lay down some very high-level sky-writing.

Probably a cheaper deal than this aerosol stuff they are talking about.

Sounds more plausible to me.

[JRandomFreeper]

S'ok.... I'm going to burn tires and spread the carbon black on the poles.

In the movie "The Matrix" there is an expression used one time and, as far as I know, never explained at all. Apparently, the machines started to take over and humans noted that the evil machines were solar-powered -- so the humans "scorched the sky" to deprive the machines of power. The end result was that machines harnessed humans and used them as living batteries instead.

Scorching the sky? The phrase has never made sense to me. But maybe we'll do it by accident.

These people are certifiable. There’s no telling what trouble doing something so stupid on such a large scale would cause...

[Lurker]

These people are demonstrably insane.

[Steely Tom]

Good gried what a bunch of stupid wankers.

Then when this goes wrong and causes more global warming, or increased skin cancer, or increases the loss of global angular momentum to the solar wind, the solution will (of course) be "we must convert the United States to a socialist economy or the Solar System is doomed."

The glbal temperature may have gone up 1C over the last 100 years (short term) now lets see if we can lower it by 10C over a decade.

Anyone attempting to alter the amount of sunlight reaching Earth should be stopped. Period.

[RegulatorCountry]

Let’s see if I understand this correctly: global warming is caused by human activity and is bad, so we’re going to deliberately disperse sulphates in the upper atmosphere to reflect sunlight, and that’s good.

Well, if a racial spoils system is equality, then I guess this makes just as much logical sense.

[The_Reader_David]

Oh, goody, maybe they can turn the sky into a sort of mirror and kill off half the world’s population in the process. (Obscure dystopian anime reference.)

[EGPWS]

These busybody fools (Stan and Oliver would compete for their attention) have nothing better to do than to create problems to come up with a resolution to fix over and over and over.

The warming kooks may well find the way mankind can actually destroy the environment, and they will be the ones to do it.

I went to the zoo yesterday.

They have a rainforest exhibit...essentially it is a very fancy greenhouse, with a plexiglass roof. Lots of plants in there...and animals.

It reminded me that heat = life.

This is why the zoo does not have a barren glacier animal exhibit.

Even if the earth were warming, why would that be a bad thing?

[Theophilus]

If they attack the atmosphere of this planet, that will be an act of war.

[moose07]

Of course the winds in the Stratosphere wouldn't move these particles around at all ,now would they?

[WP Lonestar]

UMMM Y’all are several years behind the curve on this, they’ve already been doing it according to the conspiracy theorist... You ever heard of Chem trails?
I’m just saying..... wake up sheeple

[VeniVidiVici]

These are probably the same idiots that wanted to spread oil over arctic snow to combat global cooling.

[muir_redwoods]

This is the equivalent of giving very strong chemotherapy to a perfectly healthy, cancer free patient simply because you can.

[Samurai_Jack]

OH WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG HERE!!
