Global Warming SoD: Giant Earth Ring


As if you needed more evidence that the environmental movement has been hijacked by wackos.

A wild idea to combat global warming suggests creating an artificial ring of small particles or spacecrafts around Earth to shade the tropics and moderate climate extremes.

There would be side effects, proponents admit. An effective sunlight-scattering particle ring would illuminate our night sky as much as the full Moon, for example.

And the price tag would knock the socks off even a big-budget agency like NASA: $6 trillion to $200 trillion for the particle approach. Deploying tiny spacecraft would come at a relative bargain: a mere $500 billion tops.

Maybe we should just bomb the shit out of North Korea and Iran. A little nuclear winter should give the Global Warming idiots something else to whine about.

Well, lighting up largish number of nukes is probably the fastest way to get a lot of particulate matter floating around. Perhaps if we calibrate it right, we can avoid "nuclear winter" and achiever "nuclear autumn". ;)
