Cloud ship' scheme to deflect the sun's rays is favourite to cut global warming
The project, which is being worked on by rival US and UK scientists, would see 1,900 wind-powered ships ply the oceans sucking up seawater and spraying minuscule droplets of it out through tall funnels to create large white clouds.
These clouds, it is predicted, would reflect around one or two per cent of the sunlight that would otherwise warm the ocean, thereby cancelling out the greenhouse effect caused by Carbon Dioxide emissions.
The unmanned ships would be directed by satellite to areas with the best conditions for increasing cloud cover, mainly in the Pacific and far enough away from land so as not to affect normal rainfall patterns.

1. ummm stupid and what would power their pumps? an internal combustion engine?
you fix the problem by stopping the cause not by band-aiding it.
This plan makes every bit as much sense as cap 'n' trade, driving golf carts, solar power, or any other goofy goregasm.

The sun is much more efficient in getting water vapor from the ground/ocean and turning them into clouds than anything humans could do.

They're kiddin' right? Geez these people couldn't find their ass with both hands!

Sure they can, they just reach to scratch their ears, and lo and behold, there's their ass surrounding them...

why don't we just construct a large ac unit and cool the entire earth?
Or build a giant mirror and deflect a percentage of the suns rays off the earth?
Or build a giant rocket and move the earth's orbit a cosmic hair away from the sun?
:-)

Well, there was the tightwads plan to have everyone jump at the same time and cause the earth to shift it's orbit.....I'd buy tickets to see that one.

Ummm, I thought clouds were also heat traps for solar IR...? As in, the clouds reflect some heat back into space but more than make up for it in preventing the vast majority of the heat that does penetrate from radiating back into space on the nightside part of the cycle...

That idea about the gonzo AC unit to cure global warming is dumb. Will never work. It would trip the biggest circuit breaker at Home Depot.
We just need some truly big-ass retrorockets on fixed permanent mounts, aimed toward the west. Fire them off until they slightly slow down the earth's rotation, say by an hour a day. We could get more done in 25-hour days, and the longer nights would stop global warning. To avoid increasing daylight, the retrorockets would only fire at night.
I just thought of this solution. Can't believe no one has suggested it yet. Now I don't know how to get it seriously considered by people who can make it happen. Just to get it in the hopper, I'm sending it to the White House snitch line. Also to Gore, Keef, Conyers, the Kootch, and the carpetmuncher.

Wasn't this an episode of Futurama? Except it was every robot on earth belching their alcohol-fueled exhaust skyward?

So it seems I am the ONLY worker out there that has to get up at 3AM to go to work and listens to Coast to Coast with Art Bell or George Norrey.
Geese there are millions of listeners to this late night/early morning show.
It has been pounded into my head in the early morning hours by very famous scientists that no one has ever heard of before that these Chem-Trails are one of two things.
Either our government is spewing down some kind of birth controll powder onto the food source, or , there is Alain mischief afoot.

Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that you are a regular Art Bell listener.

You mean like how on clear nights it's colder than on cloudy ones? Who knew?
Okay, I did.

You guys, we have the resources already. Everybody has a freezer and ice trays, right? Everybody just make ice every day, and throw it in the ocean. Jeez.

Even if they stick said hands into their back pockets.... :banghead:
