"One scientist in the Discovery Channel show, glaciologist Dr Jason Box, suggests we wrap up Greenland in a gigantic blanket to slow ice-melt"

Quadrant Online - Crazy Climate Week
The insanity progresses unabated. This Sunday the Discovery Channel (UK) will present a TV series called “Ways to Save the Planet” — apparently from catastrophic global warming. And apparently totally unimpressed with Julia Gillard’s carbon dioxide tax, the Discovery Channel has rounded up eight “geo-engineering” scientists who have ideas to interfere with the world’s “delicate ecosystems”. Emmmm! Sounds like a thoroughly bad idea, but with what we have experienced in the last decade with rampant science stormtroopers pounding our brains with guilt-bombs, what else can you expect. Well…plenty!

One scientist in the Discovery Channel show, glaciologist Dr Jason Box, suggests we wrap up Greenland in a gigantic blanket to slow ice-melt. Another scientist, Dr Brian von Herzen suggests that using giant wave-powered pumps to mix cold deep ocean water with warmer surface water, we can create plankton blooms to absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide. Professor Roger Angel wants to place a 100,000 square mile sunshade in space. The sun-shade would contain trillions of lenses that would reduce the sun’s power by 2%.

On April 28, 1975, Newsweek wrote an article stating:
Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve.
