SOME DAY WE’LL LONG FOR THE DAYS WHEN GLOBAL WARMING WAS OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM

Ignoring the long-established fact that you can’t mess with Mother Nature without causing a bigger problem scientists have begun researching quick fixes for global warming. The half-baked schemes by “geoengineers” include spraying sea water into the atmosphere to make it cloudier, pumping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere or ocean, using rockets to launch tons of sulpher into the stratosphere to create a planetary sunscreen, and -- wait for it -- placing millions of tiny mirrors into orbit around the Earth to reflect back some of the sun’s rays. Good luck with that! (BBC)
