Tinkering with Earth's climate to chill runaway global warming — a radical idea once dismissed out of hand — is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president's new science adviser said Wednesday. That's because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.
The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays.
Using such an experimental measure is only being thought of as a last resort, Holdren said.
"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury ... of ruling any approach off the table." - ABC News Story
Hell why not. This Government of Change is involved in everything else that they shouldn't be so why not Mother Nature? It is pretty amazing that there is no consensus amongst the Science Community that Global Warming is man made and that there is a need for something to be done and to be even thinking about this seems pretty drastic. I wonder how much it will cost us for this? Billions, Trillions? Who cares we are made of money, we can print more.
