The only antidote to a zany scheme is... an even zanier scheme!
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

This is so typical. Rather than trying to stop or slow down the cause of something, be it Global Climate Change or whatever, there will be people who think we should try a technological fix. That's a whacked perspective, IMHO.

We can probably engineer Earth's climate to cool the planet, scientists say, but are we willing to live with the downsides?
LOL!
That would depend on how retardedly ham-fisted you smurfing geniuses are with the solution then, wouldn't it? 
...and watch out for the flying meat!
