New Plan To Stop Global Warming Includes Blocking The Sun
The global warming crazies have done it this time.
The newest plan to stop global warming involves blocking out the sun, CNN reported.
It is a curious decision as Democrats have insisted that man is causing the climate to get warmer whereas conservatives have argued that it is the natural cycle of the sun.
Either way this idea seems doomed to failure and could bring on a new ice age.
Scientists are proposing an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere.
The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half.
The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns.
Despite the technology being undeveloped and with no existing aircraft suitable for adaptation, the researchers say that “developing a new, purpose-built tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive.”
They estimate the total cost of launching a hypothetical system in 15 years’ time at around $3.5 billion, with running costs of $2.25 billion a year over a 15-year period.
The report does, however, acknowledge that the technique is purely hypothetical.
The good news is we're headed in the direction of a long cool period due to lack of sunspot activity. The bad news is the cold-blooded reptiles who think humans are causing things to get hotter even as they get cooler don't seem to be able to tell the difference.
