Sunday Times: Man-made volcanoes may cool Earth
 

THE Royal Society is backing research into simulated volcanic eruptions, spraying millions of tons of dust into the air, in an attempt to stave off climate change.

The society will this week call for a global programme of studies into geo-engineering — the manipulation of the Earth’s climate to counteract global warming — as the world struggles to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

It will suggest in a report that pouring sulphur-based particles into the upper atmosphere could be one of the few options available to humanity to keep the world cool.

The intervention by the Royal Society comes amid tension ahead of the United Nations-sponsored climate talks in Copenhagen in December to agree global cuts in carbon dioxide emissions. Preliminary discussions have gone so badly that many scientists believe geo-engineering will be needed as a “plan B”.

HMMM...i think the first step is to stop farking with the planet period!

Get rid of airliners!!! One way trip from Brisbane to LAX uses more fuel than I will use in a lifetime in my car! How many airliners are airborn everyday, flying at 30-40 thousand feet high pumping by-products of burnt and un-burnt fuel into our atmosphere...come on, where's the free energy? clean energy?

3 years ago in NEW ZEALAND the government tried to legislate fart tax...yes true:nono:! 50 million sheep plus dairy cows 2 million approx farting methane into the atmosphere...part of the carbon issue...it never got passed...
