I see that global warming has also destroyed the ability to airbrush photos.
Thus airbrushed 'babe' becomes Kojak impersonator.

Here's an interesting article:

What a bunch of Chicken Littles.
The space umbrella idea is nonsense. It will take 20 million rocket launches to achieve this goal?! Seems to me the emissions from all those rockets would do more harm than all that's been generated to date. Then you have the slight problem of who's going to build 20 million rockets. You have to mine the raw materials to create the metal shells, which means increased usage of petrochemicals and electricity generation to build that many rockets. What are we using for fuel - water or corn? Probably neither.:) What happens to the rockets? - do they remain in orbit as space junk, or do they fall back to earth as molten projectiles? I'm not even touching the cost of all this yet.:D
Fertilizing the ocean with tons of iron oxide is another good one. We'll be told the fish will be unsafe to eat for 100 years because they ingested too much iron. Ocean-going cargo ships will get their propellers snagged in the masses of green slime that will make the Sargasso Sea look barren by comparison. At least fishing will be easier, we can just use giant electromagnets to catch them, but they won't be edible anyway.
The real tone of all this is summed up nicely by one observation in the article: Those who are coming up with these schemes don't trust the planet to recover by itself.:rolleyes:
Aren't we slowly getting closer to the sun through gravitational pull as we continuously orbit it.
If so wouldn't that account for things warming up - or is that to simple an explanation or theory ?
It seems to me if someone actually did some of these things to stop global warming wouldn't they chance going to far and send it into an ice age? I don't want an ice age either. I just can't believe some people actually think they can affect the world climate.
Sort of like the show where men go into space, land on the asteroid, and drill into it to plant explosives in an effort to blow it up so it doesn't hit the earth.
Or better yet, lets build a space ship and send a bunch of us to another planet to start a new civilazation, we could build temperature controled domes and thus escape the coming whatever.....LOL
There is one idea for helping to reduce global warming that I saw recently on a documentary that does seem workable and practical, which involves nothing more toxic than seawater:

The only problem is that water vapour is a worse greenhouse gas that CO2.Quote:

We need more plants...fewer people!!:D
Along with my "Shaved Heads Society", lets also form the "Hold Your Breath Society". So...while we stand outside each day at high Noon for 15 minutes, we can also hold our breath for at least one minute and that will help cut down on the co2 emissions..helping offset global warming.
Okay...this is getting real silly...about as silly as the accusation that Humans are the cause of this warming period...:p
I'm cold.....
I forwarded your post to Al Gore, and he replied: "Aha! More proof of global warming! I'll sell him some carbon offsets to ease his conscience.":rolleyes:Quote:

This carbon offset thing is a bunch of horsht....:rolleyes:
Essentially....if carbon mismanagement is truly the cause of environmental decay, this program says the rich can keep on wrecking the place, but everyone else better buy a good pair of walking shoes and some long underwear.
Just what the country needs....another class distinction....carbon-rich and carbon-poor.:rolleyes:
Just the way Hollyweird wants it. They don't have to sacrifice a thing, just pretend they care by paying someone to plant a tree. Wow.Quote:

I have two bonsai trees....about 6 inches high.....
What's my carbon offset rate for planting them? :D
Keep in mind....as goofy as this carbon offset thing sounds....that was a basic tenent of the Kyoto Protocol which the US took a beating for not ratifying. It allowed industrialized countries (major energy users) to go to undeveloped nations....buy their unused energy quotas....and use them at home. In theory...those undeveloped nations would take all that cash and put it into developing their nations with "green" energy sources. A supposed win-win situation and a free lunch....:rolleyes:
Yeah...............that would happen...........:rolleyes:
BTW....an interesting part of the Kyoto Protocol? China....the world's second largest producer of CO2 (soon to be first) is exempt....and is building a coal burning power plants at a rate of one a week.
And I see no reason to brush my teeth as they will simply get dirty again.
Yes, the earth is getting warmer but not, I repeat NOT, all because of human activities. What about animal flatulence (methane, a greenhouse gas!), natural decay of organic activity in bogs and swamps (methane, again), volcanic activity (carbon dioxide), natural wildfires sparked by lightning (carbon dioxide). Man has control over none of those activities, yet they contribute to greenhouse gases. What is occuring is just a natural climate variation that man has little or no control over. I have never had much patience for all the chicken little tree huggers out there, now I have NO PATIENCE for them. I remember well that during the winter of '76/'77, which was very bad, an ice age was coming because the earth had tilted from 23.5 degrees on its axis or some such bulls**t reason. What happened to that?? The biggest chicken little out there, Al Gore with his $22,000 PER MONTH electric and natural gas bill, has lost whatever precious little credibility he had. He did invent the internet, remember?!?!?!?!? HOW DARE YOU (as a member in good standing of the liberal, America is Evil crowd) PREACH AT ME AND PRODUCE PROPAGANDA TO TRY TO GUILT TRIP ME (An Inconvenient Truth) when I don't use that much electricity in 3 or 4 YEARS. All the tree huggers need to take a bath and leave the rest of us alone--the smell of their body odor has damaged their brains. If you want to live in the stone age, that's your business, but I don't, so leave me alone and leave me out of it.
