Given the claim that global warming imminently threats to destroy all of civilization and all but destroy all life on earth, to save all of humanity and all other creatures, it would be a vastly lesser of evils to devastate Iran with nuclear weapons to cause a mini nuclear winter to offset global warming?

Use mini nuke wars to save earth from the horrors of global warming.

One thing that is curious is that no one actually has ANY plan to address global warming among those who believe in it. Shifting US production to China and elsewhere doesn't reduce co2 one iota. Nor does carbon taxes. Why not try to block sunlight instead or some other actual plan that might actually do something? Blow a few holes in earth so the ash blocks the sun.

Maybe another big dust bowl? Have everyone cover their roofs with tinfoil to reflect the sunlight. Wear tinfoil hats too. Require all packaging be covered in reflective coating and then require everyone to litter. Allow people to only have white dogs and cats for pets.

Given how slight the alleged increasing is, why not pursue slight offsets?

I remember reading a forum where someone blamed global warming on the Government,
Their line of thinking was that daylight savings time had added an extra hour of sunlight, per Day!!
This was not stated with sarcasm.
In all seriousness, it might help in a meaningful way for all roofs to be painted with aluminum based
white paint.
AC makes up about half of the US residential base load, and I would like to see my electric bill go down.
 
This is horsehockey. There are plans but you have to actaully go out on the internet or a library to find them. Thats the problem armchair critics. They spend their time at home critizing something they seem to know little about and then are amazed when someone says thier wrong.

Sources. NOAA, NAC, almost any governmental science academy who is actively reseaching the problem (27 and counting). NGS,
the documentary carbon nation, numerous other scientific organizations involved in climate, geology, oceanography, etc.

And I am once again going to plan the TP game, I have given you my sources now find them for yourself.

Even just planting fast growth shading trees would greatly reduce A/C bills over time. For electric bills, all building in the South should have white roofs and those in cold climates dark roofs.

What you posted has NO value because you offer NO solution.
 
Well wolfman is right there's lots of proposals. Varying degrees of plausibility but they're out there.

LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE LOTS YOU JUST HAVE TO GET UP OFF YOUR COUCH AND FIND THEM. This is what every connie has told me to do when they have made a claim without subtantiation. SO go do it

True homes in the south by and large used to have tin roofs for exactly that reason pre-air conditioning, also high peaked roofs to carry hot air farther from the living space.
 
Global warming IF and WHEN it happens will cost a few million to fix.

Volcanic dust via high altitude release. End of problem.

you will note cooling of all major erruptions..................

So no reason for all your over priced CO taxes and BS.

As for your Nuke idea, read about world contamination for the above ground testing era.........

Does the right-wing ever bother to look for facts? Volcanos cool because they emit sulfates into the high atmosphere. The world has plenty of sulfates, and they still emit them as acid rain. They only cool when they are high in the atmosphere and proposals to do it have been done many times.

There are a couple problems with it. It doesn't stop ocean acidification and will even contribute to it. It isn't a one shot deal and needs to have the sulfates replaced. Once committed to it, you have to keep doing it until the CO2 in the atmosphere is removed to an acceptable level and that requires other geoengineering methods.

There are all kinds of geoengineering proposals that are a lot smarter than nuclear winter or trying to create a volcanic eruption. Only large eruptions cool the Earth and that's not easy to manage, when you don't know how to set such an eruption off.

Source of this claim please

I'll take you seriously if you source the above.

painting the roofs white sounds great unless you're up North where it gets cold. I want to absorb as much heat through my roof as I can when it's cold! Otherwise, any gains in the summer are offset by higher heating bills in the winter.

Is this "A Modest Proposal"? :mrgreen:

Ok, ok, I got it. A roof that is white on one side and black on the other. And then you just flip it when the seasons change!

LOL what a bunch of BS.

Read what I said and what the expert put in his book. You spread DUST via airplane that is at high Alt.( Ever heard of U-2 LEFT WINGER??) .........Set off a volcano!!! LMAO.......Left wing thinking at its BEST!!!! ROTFLMAO

Have you ever heard of a high altitude baloon and using sulfates instead of dust, because they last longer?

I gave you a link to all the major suggestions, so find using airplanes and dust, RIGHT WINGER!

It's another dumb idea.

Uhh, the point was that "setting off a volcano" is a stupid idea. It was a right-winger that came up with the "have a nuclear war" idea, right? Because he thinks climate change will make us go extinct. :lamo What an alarmist.

All those stupid ideas are right-wing ideas, but they don't try to read the thread to know what it says. It's easier to just make **** up.
