"An emergency "Plan B" using the latest technology is needed to save the world from dangerous climate change, according to a poll of leading scientists carried out by The Independent. The collective international failure to curb the growing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has meant that an alternative to merely curbing emissions may become necessary." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Oy problem is, we're just as likely to screw things up. tinkering with global weather patterns seems like the perfect scenario for the law of unintended consequences. - mikepk

NO... <runs screaming> We will F*** this up for sure. The environment is far too complex a system for us to mess with. We can't predict what will happen in standard weather patterns with any real degree of accuracy and we think we can go "manipulate" the global system to our desired result. Wow... now THAT is arrogance written large. - Brian Roy

I disagree, Brian. A system as complex as climate can not only be messed up, but be messed up easier than we suspect. - Steven Perez

Patient - Huh? I think that is what I said... that we can (and will) mess it up in very unpredictable ways. - Brian Roy

Oh. In that case, I agree with you. (This cold medicine is awesome stuff, btw.) - Steven Perez

No worries... I was there two weeks ago :) - Brian Roy

Steven, this has nothing to do with this post... but your constantly changing nicknames from today have me ROFL. - Vicarbott
