Science pt.II
some highs that are really lows
...and I know a lot of relativeley sane, relativeley intelligent people just don't believe this is happening. (just dont believe their own eyes? or refuse to look up? who knows) but if you do go to the above linked link, you can go to their library and from there you can even download a copy of the 1992 Policy Implications for Global Warming where they looked for the best ways to deal with the coming greenhouse mess (and i quote):
"The report concludes that the most effective mitigation solution to global warming is to spray reflective aerosol compounds into the atmosphere via commercial, military and private aircraft." so, maybe it's unthinkable to the dood on the street, but not at all for policy wonks, NRC, NAS, NAE.....
hmmm... come to think of it, i remeber reading a sci-fi book from the 70's called -i think- "Heat," and the protagonist in the story releases hundreds of thousands of little mirrors into space to refelct the solar radiation before we fry far below (oh, and to get the girl) ...sorta like Star Wars but for geo-engineering climate instead of knocking missiles out of the sky with light sabres
