Or, we could just peel back clean emissions policies and let fossil fuel-consuming power plants burn baby burn. We'd not only create desperately needed cheaper energy but we'd get more particulate into the atmosphere, acting as zillions of tiny shades - to heck with dopey mirrors. Use what Carl Sagan's "Nuclear Winter" and 70s "New Ice Age" alarmists warned us about, for a win-win.

I have a better idea why dont we instead shoot all those global warming wackos into deep space so they wont be hear producing all that HOT AIR and comming up with rediculous ideas like this

Oh-oh: How about we BURN the global warming wackos for energy, then their ashes will float up and do as I noted above. Don't pass up an alternative energy source. :D

How are we going to harvest solar energy if they are going to block it at the source?

in other words, their cahnges are made with absolutly no thought as to other things.

if you block solar, then your solar panels wont work.

if your wrong about this, we will all die in one year... rather than maybe in 400...

we CAN live in a high heat environment
(energy is all around and can be used to do work to create cool areas... and survive).

we CANT live in a low temperature one in which there isnt enough energy to collect to aggregate and make warmth.

machines work in the heat, they break fast in the cold..

and what the heck would happen to the rain forests if they get sun at the level of the northern climes rather than remain tropical?

this is sooooooo stupid..

i wish there was even a flush handle to grab onto when the idiots keep flushing to see the pretty water and we are all going down the drain

lets retitle the newsweek mag..

rather than we are all sociaists now.

lets just say

we are all nemo now..

The PSA announcement at the end of "24" where Kiefer Sutherland goes on screen to announce they are carbon neutral was a total buzzkill Monday night. WTF is wrong with FOX? Enough with this shallow nonsense.

Man, these folks just get crazier and crazier. Can we re-open all the nut shacks that the Democrats closed back in the 1960s?

This story would seriously not look out of place on April Fools’ Day.

If I have this right, essentially the plan is to use this:

to turn the earth into this:

This sounds just great – when do we start?

WTF? Stop buying oil from the towel heads and make mirrors for space. Mirrors made out of....sand, which we buy from the towel heads. Brilliant!!
Theory of warm/cold on earth. Dry is cold, wet is warm. The wettest places are...at the equator. The driest places are...at the poles. Water vapor is the ONLY gaseous determinant factor in atmospheric temperature. Stupid alarmists.

He's a couple of weeks early with this one.

Eco-nuts appear not to think of the obvious potential danger with all of their Jules Verne-type proposals - namely, they seriously mess with the environment.

So if the underlying concept is flawed, we're screwed. Totally screwed. Thirty years ago they proposed putting carbon black on the poles to capture more sun and stave off a new Ice Age. Presumably they'd now be at the poles with brooms.

Suppose we implement this nitwit's idea with the mirrors, and then climatologists sheepily admit they found a flaw in their models, and we need to get rid of the mirrors. Then what? We send up a big butterfly net?

Come to think of it, though, a cannon with a barrel 0.6 miles across could come in handy...

Monty Burns did this on the Simpsons (Who Shot Mister Burns?). This is also the Simpsons episode where Smithers utters this line:

"And when he planned to steal our sunlight, he crossed that line between everyday villainy and cartoonish super-villainy."

Isn't Chairman Zero attempting to do the same thing? Destroy energy production to fuel his own mad dreams of sun and wind power? Only in this case, blocking out the sun would, in fact, prevent the esteemed glorious leader from fulfilling one of his key campaign promises on alternative energy.

At what point does President Obama cross the line from everyday villainy to cartoonish supervillainy?

Are these the same bunch of crack-pots who want us to introduce lions and elephants to NORTH AMERICA? how about is they took a walking tour of WILDLIFE SAFARI and inticed the lions by looking delicious

Lord Squirrel: a pox upon thee; you beat me to the Simpson's reference...
