All right.  This actually sounds reasonable.  More importantly, it appears to be easy, doable, and inexpensive compared to the economy-killing and power-grabbing schemes the likes of Al Gore & Co. have come up with.

From the UK Telegraph:

‘Cloud ship’ scheme to deflect the sun’s rays is favourite to cut global warming. Excerpts:

Ships with giant funnels which travel the world’s seas creating more clouds to deflect the sun’s rays could help cut global warming, say scientists.

They would cost $9 billion (£5.3 billion) to test and launch within 25 years, compared to the $250 billion that the world’s leading nations are considering spending each year to cut CO2 emissions…

Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen think-tank…believes the schemes could prove that there are better ways of addressing climate change than simply reducing CO2 emissions.

“[C]loud whitening ships deserve serious scrutiny,” he told The Times.

It’s a fascinating piece.  Do read it.

 As always, the difference between me and the lefties is that I’ve always believed that innovaition and invention could solve our concerns.  You’ll find most lefties think we’ve somehow done all we can do, and must ’sacrifice’ our current lifestyles.  This has been a pattern of ‘progressives’ since the beginning of the 20th century (some progress, huh). Strangely, this always requires more government intrusion in our lives with new controlling rules and more monies going through the government.  What do you think cap-and-trade is but a contrived set of laws to create an artificial shortage, and then (of course) only the government controls the supply?  In other words, it’s a form of tax extortion.

Then, of course, there’s the left-of-lefties who believe we’ve insulted nature and must somehow have a hair shirt solution to atone for our sins.  No, it can’t be this easy.

A solution like this is distinctly preferable, as it can be adjusted according to need.  More importantly, it can be reversed and stopped altogether without killing economies on a wholesale level.

By the way, did you ever notice since the cooling trend of the 2000’s, that we no longer say ‘global warming’?  The phrase now is ‘climate change’.  Well, now, it’s one thing that the government ‘has’ to get involved to protect the planet from global warming.  It’s another thing entirely to have to do something about ‘climate change’.  Just when doesn’t the climate change???

Think about it.  What a wholesale and permanent power grab. Scary.

Of course, who’s to say that our current climate is the best one for the planet, anyway?
