WASHINGTON (AP) — Tinkering with Earth’s climate to chill runaway global warming — a radical idea once dismissed out of hand — is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president’s new science adviser said Wednesday.

That’s because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.

The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays.

Using such an experimental measure is only being thought of as a last resort, Holdren said.

“It’s got to be looked at,” he said. “We don’t have the luxury … of ruling any approach off the table.” AP

Now let’s see we have Holdren the president’s new science adviser saying, “We don’t have the luxury … of ruling any approach off the table,” and Congress is having a headache with a 20% cut by 2020. I don’t think this is working out well kind of a lack of working together and facing the problem. Let’s see for Australia in many way’s to late for China only a few years away and big problems in little China and India same. The Arctic in as little as 5 to 7 years the sea ice gone in the summer and then of course weather changes big time where a big part of food is grown. The Congress has a headache does it. Well air heads in just a few years headache doesn’t begin to explain it. In the next few month’s cap and trade comes up in the Senate and maybe a watered down version maybe can pass. Cap and trade is business as usually better known as bullshit does little to solve the problem. A few million people in front of the Capital one voice could help them with that headache. The problem is are there a few million who would do that? It looks like so far most people the media in the US is in control of there minds pitting one against another sort of as the media just wants to give people what they want it is a business after all. Oh boy in just a few years not so much of want but need multiply today by about a factor of five and we are getting warmer. Oh that will never happen it already is. I guess we just wait until the shit really hit’s the fan and food and water a bit of a problem and hot yes very hot but of course by then to late nature of the beast. I see now why shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays is on the table it’s easy, you know Mr. President the rocket is ready waiting for your order sir and many Human’s think they are so tuff. I am sure most ever now and then hear the laughter of the God’s off in the distance for only a second or two before taking an aspirin for that headache. Is it easy ok let’s do it I’ll vote for that. Will the people like it, ok let’s do it.

Read this and don’t give up it can be done and will take a new way of thinking.

John Holdren said that the idea of geo-engineering the climate is being discussed. Options include cloud-seeding and shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays.
“It’s got to be looked at,” he said, even if such experimental measures were only used as a last resort. “We don’t have the luxury of taking any approach off the table.”

In a further departure from the Bush administration’s policy on global warming, Mr Holdren outlined several “tipping points” involving global warming that could be fast approaching.

Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, the chances of “really intolerable consequences” increased substantially, he said.
Though he characterised the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view, in an interview with the Associated Press he said he had raised it with the White House.
Mr Holdren, a 65-year-old physicist, is far from alone in taking geoengineering more seriously. The National Academy of Science is making climate tinkering the subject of its first workshop in its new multidiscipline climate challenges program. Similar ideas have also been discussed in Parliament.
The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement on geoengineering that says “it is prudent to consider geoengineering’s potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment.”

Here we go and always’ the easy way out that is no way out. To stay on subject I wonder what Fox News and the people you see on there show’s that already seem to be getting stranger and stranger will say about this that just aired on the NBC nightly news tonight. Two million to start.

As to the source of heightening terrorism dangers, we all ought to be spreading the word about the April 2006 National Intelligence Estimate. That’s partially declassified and available here:
