h/t Ace of Spades

David Schnare, an environmental scientist and attorney associated with the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy, told the U.S. Senate today that a solution to global warming is simple, cheap — and no more than a few years away.

With geo-engineering, the doctor says, scientists are learning how to replicate natural phenomenon, like volcanic eruptions, to control global temperatures. Here are excerpts from prepared testimony the doctor submitted

…

Because these techniques mimic natural phenomena, we know more about how quickly and well they work than we do about the efficacy of attempting to reduce greenhouse gases. We have measured the effects of the natural processes and can state with considerable certainty, bordering of complete certainty, that they will produce the result sought. Although the effects of greenhouse gas reduction would occur over a period of no less than decades and more likely centuries, the effects of geo-engineering can (and will) be manifest in a matter of weeks after application.

…

Geo-engineering is … 200 to 2,000 times less expensive … than exclusive reliance on carbon control.

I have been saying for a couple years that if we were really serious about curbing global warming it would be a simple matter, just set off a nuke in the south Pacific. I even wrote about it a bit here. [Ok there I was proposing nuking Moscow or Beijing but its the same theory] Now there is a scientific basis for my lunancy. If only the world would just listen to me to begin with life would be simpler.
