(Via
The Atlantic). The Economist is proposing planetary-scale changes to combat global warming. This terraforming could involve removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or injecting sulphur into the upper atmosphere to block out some of the sun's energy to cool the planet. While I'm sure this would require a great percentage of the world's GDP to accomplish, what happens if, like now, the planet ...

In an upcoming edition of Science Magazine, the debate over which was first - a spike in carbon dioxide or a spike in temperatures - is examined. Ocean currents are also studied to see how they can be predictors of climate change. Historical looks at Greenland temperature increases are also included in the article, which show that increases in temperature were preceded by increases in ...

The New South Wales government in Australia is seeding the clouds in the Snowy Mountains region to increase rainfall, which after the first application increased precipitation by 10-15%. Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald commented, "well this is human intervention to try and address some of the problems that may be created by human induced, too much carbon in the atmosphere." Since global warming causes all ...

A screen has been erected in the Swiss Alps at about 2300 meters (6900 feet) to keep cold winds over the glacier and help slow the melting glaciers. The screen measures about 15 meters long (49 feet) and about three meters (10 feet) high. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080814174629.gdp1oghi&show_article=1

(H/T:
Blog at the End of Time). Another silly idea has been proposed by scientists that just don't seem to grasp scale. Lime can be added to the oceans to increase their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The problem is that (a) the oceans are huge and this would be a massive undertaking, (b) limestone has to ...

Two chemists are developing a method by which carbon dioxide can be recycled and used in a variety of plastics. While this method won't completely eliminate the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, it will go a long way in helping fix global warming.
One problem here: environmentalists hate plastic. Expect this to be another great idea that won't get any support from global warming ...
