How To Cool A Planet (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/27/science/earth/27cool.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5065&en=ca9e39a26d7e4ece&ex=1151985600&partner=MYWAY)

Over the years scientists have been hard at work tring to stop global warming. Here are some of the wonderful ideas they had (by he way I'm really plagiarizing Glenn Beck for anybody who listened to his show today, but I loved this segment and wanted to share it with you guys).


Build a gigantic mirror in orbit to cool the planet.

Um...Ok? A big mirror in orbit... Hmmm...


Tinker with clouds to make them reflect more sunlight back into space.

Tinker with clouds? Tinker with clouds? We can't predict saturday's weather, but we can tinker with clouds to make them reflect sunlight? Alright...


Trick oceans into soaking up more heat-trapping greenhouse gases

If you read into it it's something about growing plants and leting them sink into the ocean.However this won't "trick" oceans into soaking up gases.


Realease sulfur in the air

I'd rather burn to death in the great global warming than have to smell eggs all day.


But Glenn had a better solution. Why not put the earth in a big refrigerator?
It would be a nice one of course, with ten different climates instead of crappy refrigerator ones that have like four or five. And this is a sure reason not to vote Hillary, because you woman are always cold, so she'd be turnin that dial down all the time. Or mabe hook up a huge fan to the Earth to blow it away from the sun. Hey, why not?

Or we could throw Al Gore into the sun.

The mirror one sounds the most realistic, expensive, but realistic.

It would be a heck of a waste of money if it failed though :icon_lol:

Well I think the real way to stop global warming is to go to the sun and have a sit-in. We would sit next to the sun until it did something. Then we could boycott solar energy or something like that. We could ask the sun nicely if it could stop being so hot. We could sing peaceful songs to the sun asking it to cool down. Yes, nonviolent protest can solve anything!

Why stop something that is non-existant?

Its not non-existant - the reasons are up for debate - but the world is getting warmer....its a fact.

Sorry, that's what I meant.
I doubt GW is man-made; there is probably very little we can do about it.

I agree with Madcowhunter- Why do they think we had an ice age? Was it all the cavemen with their little fires? Those stupid cavemen should know better.

Global warming IS NOT a result of human activity.

Aye, but if we can prevent it, we should take that initiative.

I dunno Guns... unless something horrible happens that can be proved to be a direct result of global warming, I can think of a few better things to spend money on than a gigantic mirror in space.

Guns R Cool

Sorry, should clarify. If it becomes a problem, then we should take measures. Right now I don't see the impending doom that Al Gore talks about.

Yeah, I'm on the same page with you Guns. Ever see "The Day After Tomorrow"? If that major crap happens, maybe we should be thinking about "tinkering with clouds". Although I really doubt it will ever get that bad.

Why try to fight it? In hopes that he is right, I am hedging my bets. I am buyng property in Az. I sure hope Al, Gore-bal warming hurries. Maybe "the big one" will hit soon. Sometimes, I start all my SUV's, Motorcycles, lawnmowers and weed eaters and jump up and down for hours just to hurry things along. Then this one time at band camp... psh

How many of us are convinced this global warming isn't just the accumulated effect of big mouth liberals spewing forth hot air?

I hear Liberals burn cleanly. We could begin using them as a fuel source.

It's the direct result of years of built-up smug coming from San Francisco.

Not to mention how many years bad luck one would get if it broke! :mad:

If the smug from George Clooneys oscar acceptance speech impacts the smug from San Francisco we could have a world crisis.

"San Francisco appears to have completely disappeared up its own asshole"

I love South park:icon_mrgr

South Park kicks ass. That was one of the funniest episodes ever. All the smug San Francisco liberals were in love with themselves. It was hilarious.

Yes, that was one of the three best South Parks ever. The other two being the Al Gore one. "Manbearpig does exist, I'm super cereal." "Excelsior!" And the Michael Jackson one was pretty freaking hilarious. Especially beacuse it came out during the child molestation charges.

Is the planet warming? Maybe. Warming from what? From what it was a relatively short few years ago? The earth is billions of years old. The time we have been here is literally a spec - a millisecond of time in the big scheme of things. If the planet had a problem with us, it would shake us off like a bug. To quote George Carlin - "The planet is fine. The people are ====ed." And that couldn't be more true.

If the planet is warming, so what. We didn't cause it and we can't stop it and we shouldn't go around messing around with something like that just to justify the existence of morons like Algore.

I say if the planet is warming, sell some of your jackets on eBay and make it profit from it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to turn up the air conditioning, take my SUV for a ride and spray some aerosol cans into the air. (Just for the fun of it.)

i can't believe you didn't mention the Global Warming South park episdode!!

Aside from being a great episode it would have fit perfectly in this thread.

BTW I agree with IHL.

I don't like McCain and I have no idea who Cormyn is. The whole business is a crock.

Are you kidding me Sodie?
Global warming wasn't an issue created by Al Gore's movie. We've all had feelings about the subject before it came out. I've never agreed with the idea of man-made GW and I still don't. No politician can change that.

Question, would the idea of global warming be more pallatable(sp), if An inconvenient truth were John McCain's or say John Cornyn's movie?
Nope, I would feel just the same.

Isn't this really about feeling like you may have to change your lifestyle because of Al Gore ?
Here he goes with that "hateful conservative" BS again. We have always felt this way about global warming. The issue here is that Al Gore is going around parading his new movie, and we're all telling him how full of shit he is. We don't feel like we "may have to change our lifestyle" for ANYONE.
