Global Warming Faithful Suggest Meddling With Atmosphere
To help you get some use out of your tax dollar, here's a little something from NPR:
A researcher says he has a way to "Save the Earth from Global Warming" — for a while, at least. The idea is to do what volcanoes do: inject material into the stratosphere. That would create a thin haze and reflect some sunlight. [...] But the paper proposes using it not as a permanent fix, but to buy time until greenhouse gases emissions can be brought under control.
If global warming true believers ever find themselves in the driver's seat, the inevitable economic ruin might be only the beginning of our troubles.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Hm, this sounds remarkably like the plan they had back in the early 70s, to spread soot across the polar ice caps in order to make the earth absorb more heat to prevent the new ice-age that was so obviously coming out way.

You are dealing with religious fanatics here, albeit somewhat goofier than the Muslim blood-addict kind. They have there own apocalyptic vision and save their greatest rage for those heretics who question their myths.
I pledge to continue to do my part to inject as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as I can.

Modern environmentalists are now indistinguishable from 60's comic book supervillains.

Just refer to Romans 1:21-23 for these are those who worship the creation rather that the creator
