Ice storm!
But then you get to "solve" that problem. Of course the
Russians ands Chinese will claim it is a weapon. The impact
statement will be 3 million pages and that will require an
impact statement to justify the wood pulp.
The point is that it is beyond human control and our effect
is miniscule.
Water is the major greenhouse gas and water absorbs CO2.
Carbon is locked in rock made by sea life such as corals and
oysters.
Making concrete releases a lot of that CO2. So does
volcanic activity.
We could all die and the world would still get hotter and
colder in a long cycle. But who would know or care?
Just as long as Al Gore gets his Oscar and Art Bell talks to
abductees.
Me, I want to date Buffy and her sister.
