As the Hot Air headline says, what could possibly go wrong?
The president’s new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth’s air.
John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.
“It’s got to be looked at,” he said. “We don’t have the luxury of taking any approach off the table.”
Um, why do I get this visual of young boys, frogs, and firecrackers? Or, for you Southerners, what happens immediately following the phrase “hey, y’all, watch this”?
Of course, to use the AGW Believers phrase, “why should we listen to Holdren? He doesn’t have a degree in climatology.”
Ace: On the other hand, Ice Ages can be triggered by the right set of conditions. And we don’t know what those conditions are.
Allahpundit: Enter the Messiah, master of the heavens and earth, and his magic pollution-particle ray.
