I don't know anything about all the scientific relatable issues of all this, but common sense, says I'd rather have the water blown into the air instead of mirrors in space! Throw in that this guy has figured it out on his own , with simle facts, instead of these government progams "handling" it with a HUGE HUGE expensives price tag to handle something they never get handled! This guy seems to have found a rather 2+2=4 aolurion ro global warming problem. http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20081221/sc_mcclatchy/3126399_1Th What do you think? I mean, often the simply solutions work the best.

I see one very big problem, the amount of energy needed to spray that amount of water into the air. Producing that energy would further add to the global warming problem. We're back to the old addage "for every action there is an equal & opposite reaction". In all likelyness it would end up making things worse.

Definately right on that, but at the moment we are doing all that and not giving anything back. At least this way we'd be kind of giving back what we are already taking. And we'd at least stay status quo but with the hope that one day the water might over take the warming and maybe have something new by then to work even better. NOt saying this will work but it sure does have some validity to it and would seem a good place for the government to start - here on earth instead of in outer space!

It just takes a little common sense. The last wild idea I saw was to cover Iceland with wrap to keep the glaciers from melting. They know it will work because they tried in on about 1/4 of an acre. It's going to cost about 600 billion dollars. I hope our tax dollars didn't go into that experiment.

YOu are right on the cost, but thing is, they are spending that on things right now via NASA and space... why not spend that money down here on earth instead of up there in space! They had no problem spending $700 billion to take ownership of bad debts in the name of inproving economy, yet not a single thing has been done since those bad debts have changed owenership that has helped the economy or "main street", and those that created that problem are still in their chairs figuring out how to do it again, so if they can waste money on one issue, don't see aproblem in spending it on a quite possible way to fix the environment. They only tell you the price tag on things they don't want to bother with and how expensive it will be. DId they tell any of us how expensive that mirrors in space thing would be? I'd rather spend the money here on the earth than in outter space!

In view of the fact that many scientists believe that global warming is a myth and that if we are in the throes of any kind of dangerous climate change it could as easily be the threat of global chilling, I think we should leave the weather alone. I think the problem is the the politicization of science, not the weather. But here, again, is the correct link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20081221/sc_mcclatchy/3126399_1

Yeah, you are right there also! I am not sure which way I believe... although the heat generated from sky scrappers that they collect all day and "store" and remit and the cars generating so much heat - among other things, I can see the "point" of the warming effect - we are putting more heat in the upper atmosphere. But then again, like Utah said...the circle of life, so to speak - has it's holding grounds to. Yeah, maybe we should just leave the weather alone - and just make sure we put back what we take from it.

I'm not sure how to respond to this because I hadn't heard about this before and your link wound not take me to the news story you cited.
