Space Mirrors and Smoke

The earth is heating up, and so, our good friends, the Americans have decided they need to do something about it. Am I the only one who is worried that the same country that elected Dubya is going to try and sort out one of the major issues facing humanity?

Because if I am I would suggest everyone else starts worrying. George and his countrymen have decided that the best solution would be space mirrors and reflective smoke... Basically they figure that instead of stopping the earth retaining heat they can just stop the heat getting to earth in the first place by doing things like pumping reflective smoke into the atmosphere and launching giant space mirrors... Surely I cannot be the only one who finds it a little moronic that while the rest of the earth is tring to reduce the amount of crap in the atmosphere George is going to add to it. And giant space mirrors? We are always hearing about all the crap that is orbiting earth at 18 times the speed of light, you know the stuff, nuts, bolts, the American shuttle crew's half eaten burgers... What if that were to break George's magical mirror, then glass would come through the atmosphere, melt as it went through and it would rain melted glass, thanks for thinking it through George. And also, with the slightest miscalculation (which the Americans are brilliant at making) We would end up freezing out asses off, or worse, to much power to engine 1 and the mirror end up focusing the light onto earth, great.

I really wish the US would stop saying such stupid things in interviews and press conferences and the like, it would save us having to complain about how ridiculous their WMDs and space mirror theories are.

Great post Michael. Your writing is good and shows that underneath that cynic is a person who cares about the planet. Go you.
