Driving fast cars is bad for the planet. Making babies is bad for the planet. Eating a ribeye is bad for the planet.American Thinker: The Race Against Nothing
...
Hold on. If we eat less beef, pork and poultry, we’ll be eating a lot more beans, broccoli and cabbage, and producing a heck of a lot more methane ourselves. Since each fart is worth 23 times its weight in carbon dioxide, won’t we be accelerating Global Warming?
We have busied ourselves in a race between technology and nothing. Huge amounts of money and effort are being spent to develop an approach to address the hoax that is man-induced global warming, arguably the definition of nothing. While much of the world struggles with even the basics for life, sufficient food, shelter, clean water, and basic disease prevention, the "developed" world tilts at the windmill of nothingness.[The new Congress is coming!

On ABC's 20/20 last Friday, Nathan Myhrvold, Microsoft's former chief technology officer, and founder/CEO of Intellectual Ventures (IV), resurrected the idea of stretching a 2-inch hose up 100,000 feet (15 kilometers) into the stratosphere and releasing sulfur dioxide to cool earth's temps by a degree and reverse global warming. Cheap and easy solution or preposterous possibility?
How do you get a hose that high vertically, 20/20's skeptical Elizabeth Vargas asked? Simple: the hose stays up with balloons, said Myhrvold. "Doesn't sulfur dioxide cause acid rain?" she pressed him. It's a small amount of pollution to save the arctic and planet, was his response.
