Scientists solve global warming. Cost - $200 TRILLION
http://www.livescience.com/technolog..._solution.html Space Ring Could Shade Earth and Stop Global Warming By Robert Roy Britt Senior Writer posted: 27 June 2005 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. But the idea, detailed today in the online version of the journal Acta Astronautica, illustrates that climate change can be battled with new technologies, according to one scientist not involved in the new work. (snip) ---------------------------------------------- All we really have to do is cut back on consumption by getting rid of gas guzzlers and lowering speed limits which would also lower the crash rate and save lives and money. |

You're as nutty as the guy proposing a giant space ring. |

Actually what we need to do is get blow hards such as yourself to keep your mouths closed; all of that hot air and methane you expell contributes far more to global warming than burning petroleum products. |

I am not a believer in global warming (at least not for the often
stated reasons or that it is a major problem). However, that article is factually inaccurate (or delibeately misleading). It claims CFC are the prime greenhouse gas, which is not the case. They are implicated in global warming, but methane, CO2,and water vapor are more significant greenhouse gases. Furtermore, the article is woefully out of date (almost 8 years). Ed |

Just looked at the message header and noted we use the same ISP. You live in the Savannah area? I drove through there around the end of May this year; nice area. Tell me, if I recall correctly, there was a river by the name of "Turtle River" or "Turtle Creek" or some such, if memory serves. There was some *HUGE* complex sitting off of the interstate; do you have a clue as to what that is? TIA!
