How To Be An Easy Target

Somehow, the proponents of lunacy have once again published a step into the twilight zone. We now have a group of scientists that are so convinced that we are suffering the side effects of man made global climate change, which they are dreaming up ways to make the situation worse, I mean better. It sounds like the scenario in one of those B science fiction movies where an experiment goes astray and every attempt fix it, makes it worse. How can this baseless supposition be called science when the script was written in the 1950’s? It sounds like the doomsday crowd is again gathered for the annual ridiculous convention. Everyone get their alien ears out so we can look the part of idiots as well as act like them.

The article from Yahoo suggests that several scientists are advocating taking drastic action to slow/reverse/prevent man’s atmospheric contamination due to burning fossil fuels/exhaling/cow flatulence/deforestation. One scientist recommended making mechanical trees that convert CO2 into oxygen. Another gave the scenario of putting trillions of UFO type devices into the atmosphere to shade the Earth. The most dramatic was creating a man made volcano to spew toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. You have to love their creativity. It just goes to show how kooky the lunatic fringe is looking.

In the same vein of creativeness, I have several much cheaper and just as realistic solutions as our current group of scientific geniuses are purporting. They would not cost anything to implement as the money has already been spent. The stingy United States would be the country solely responsible for the efforts so the Kyoto Treaty group would not be able to say we are not pulling our weight. So here goes. The first is to launch the entire US nuclear arsenal and cause a nuclear winter. That would be a sure fire method to reduce the planetary warming trend. No, too 1980’s?

Okay, how about causing a 1918 style flu epidemic but have it like Captain Trips in Stephen King’s The Stand. So you end up with about 2% of the population around. No pollution or breathing and if you can get it to kill the cows also, no bovine flatulence to add to the mix. So you don’t like that one either. Boy you are hard to please.

All right, last idea then. We take every mirror and create a giant reflecting surface that sends the suns rays back into outer space. Since the Sahara Desert is both barren and full of sunshine, it would make a great place to put it. So you don’t kill people or cows and actually use barren land for something useful. No, why not? You just bought a shade of new mascara. Oh well, I guess beauty has its price.
