Next in line are the ones who trot out the 'they promised us an ice-age and now its global warming' brigade. Again, its like a label that says you are a complete gullible greenhorn that read a popular science book/the telegraph
Then there is an elite group, made up entirely of you, that asks "And what gives Obama the right to experiment on the planet? " in the context of someone suggesting we pump particles into the atmosphere to bring about a change. Which is a remarkable point of view, mainly because you seem certain that a program that hasn't yet got past brainstorming could produce serious consequences for the planet, yet a couple of hundred years of pumping stuff into the atmosphere by every industrial nation has had no effect. |
Hang on there a second.... popular science book? it's a paper put out by one of the most influential think tanks in the world The Club of Rome . The US and European powers listen to and use it's recommendations, also they work with the UN, so i would say they are a massive influence on a great number of things that affect our lives.
I never suggested there wasn't a danger of damaging the planet by pumping "stuff" into the atmosphere but i did however ask if was right to be manipulated by men in power. if the brainstorming leads to action and it goes wrong will we pay for it??? YES
And try not to be so patronising next time, you are the one called GIMPanzee after all.....
