Y2Kyoto: 3 Scottish Scientists, An Asteroid, And A Monkey

We can sandblast a nice patina on all those satellites orbiting the earth with the dust.

We have to lobby to get Global Warming Alarmism - The Church of GWA - officially classified as a religion.

some folks have been chugging waaaaaaaaaaaay to much of the Greenie Kool Aide and it has rotted out their minds.

If you can classify a dozen or so brain cells as a mind.

I know a place where these nerds can be protected from the sun's ray's.

Mom's basement.

Does nobody let these guys out to see what is going in the real world?
As a Scot I hope these scientist are imports.
I was also reminded when I read this of the Monty Python sketch about the Blancmanges that were eating all the tennis players so that a Scotsman could win Wimbledon as it was the only way it could happen, but now that is not unlikely.

I don't see how this plan could go wrong.

step 1) Harness a giant asteroid and put it in earths orbit.
Umm... OK.

step 2) Blast the asteroid until it releases enough dust to cover our shared atmosphere.
But...

step 3) Bask in the cool shade of a dark and lifeless planet.
Wait. How's that better than global warming again?

Drat. Step 3) was supposed to read "Bask in the cool shade *ON* a dark and lifeless planet."

Why not just invest in sunscreen?

Astronomically cheaper as well!

Nuke the sun!

Oh wait....

It is possible that this is how the dinosaur civilization killed itself.

"...the last time I saw that monkey, he was tryin' like hell to shove that cork back into the pig's butt..."

Alright! A new Ice Age. (If we're lucky.)

A protective shield of climate change scientists' corpses would also do the trick.

Ive come up with ideas like this after a bottle of single malt. I like to forget them in the morning and never tell anyone.

This takes us back to where climate hysteria all began, with Nuclear Winter. But why bother with the asteroids? The US wants to disarm.
It can dispose of its nuclear weapons by detonating them, preferably in a nice dry part of the world, and that will produce the necessary dust.

Maybe Iran would be a good place for the project - just saying.

There are serious EPA fines when it comes to dust so unless Scotland has a space program it ain’t happening.
Additionally, these people are going to catch hell from all the environmentalists who are heavily invested in solar farms.

Geo-scientists have a God complex,they think they can change the climate all by their little selves,and if anyone is ever stupid enough to go with one of their lunatic schemes, they WILL change the planet,and plunge humans into poverty and starvation.

These alleged scientists wanted to coat the North and South polar regions with soot back in the seventies,to alleviate "catastrophic Global Cooling",then a few years back, wanted to cover all the planet's great deserts in a white thermal blanket to prevent "catastrophic Global Warming".

This time,they've really hit the jackpot,they want to prevent the sun's rays from reaching Earth.And these guys are paid with taxpayers dollars,er Pounds!

LSD in the Glennfiddich,maybe?

Nest time some warmist attempts to silence debate by referring to the infinite number of scientists who support AGW theory, it would be a good idea to bring this up as a indication of the finely honed scientific mind. Better have the article printed out, because I doubt they'll believe you.

Why don't we just pave the Pacific?

Yes lets put the Planets fate in the hands of Jackasses who have failed every prediction, faked papers, numbers, while discounting real science.
Turned on those who disagree , than demand they go to jail while milking the system for billions. Brilliant idea eh? Than let them play with nukes when they are known liars. Besides allowing New age religious nuts who practice pseudo-science, to worship a god of nature in a spectacular way.

Isn't this the lead-in to Thundarr the Barbarian?

Damn. Scottish people are usually more sensible than this

Harness an asteroid? I'll get my baseball glove and fire up my spaceship....

I have had some stupid ideas of my own and read about a lot of others but this takes the cake.

Five bucks says the report concludes "more funding is required for a more thorough analysis...."

Perhaps they've watched too may episodes of Myth Busters and just want the opportunity to get their hands on some heavy duty explosive material and mechanisms to play with. Would not be the first time scientists have done experiments like this.

Back in the 50's, the theory was there could be no space travel to the moon due to the Van Allen radiation belts, the hypothesis was that the Van Allen Belts would cause any type of rocket to disintegrate upon entrance, so they launched a nuclear bomb and exploded at the Belts thinnest point . The explosion was huge and did move the Belt-forget how far, but it was a significant distance and thinned it out even further-much further. Turns out the hypothesis was wrong and there are materials that can withstand the radiation after-all.

Reminds me of a verse in the book of Revelation where huge rocks-conversion from ancient weights to modern puts the rock weight at around 75# each-are falling from the sky and pulverizing the earth, yet those still alive refuse to acknowledge their wrong doings. God doesn't even have to destroy the earth, scientists will do it all by themselves with their cures.

Here's one of my favourite examples of brain-dead bureaucrats thinking they have the answer to it all.

I have a counter-proposal. I've had enough of not-so Great Britain and their climate craziness. I say we go Hank Johnson on their ass and send over thousands of soldiers to tip that bothersome Atlantic island over. I'm calling it the Guam Offensive.
They are home to both the planet-destroying Industrial Revolution and James Lovelock's Gaia Theory so its only fitting that the end of the modern era should begin there. Pro Libertate

These guys are scientists or clowns.

What a joke.

Definitely too much Scotch whiskey.

Why the hell would anyone in Scotland want to cool down the earth's atmosphere?

Och aye man, ye're standin oot there on the strand in a wee kilt in a February gale an ye're sportin no undies so ye do the math.

And once the temps fall, and we start toward a new Ice Age, how are they planning on getting rid of the dust so we don't freeze? About the only part of this that is "right" is putting it out at L1 instead of in Earth orbit.

linky broke

A copy/ paste works. I'm not computer saavy enough to do a quicker link.

Speaking of monkeys, or of monkeys speaking:

Justin Trudeau says it's wrong to use western Canada's natural resource wealth to pander for votes elsewhere in the country.

Who is pandering for votes?

In Western Canada.

From where?

Maybe, if we can put Dr. Fruitfly and Fat Al on the asteroid before we blast it? In the name of science of course.

Haven't any of these guys seen the movie Highlander II: The Quickening?
The opening premise is the ozone is disappearing and then they make a shield that falls prey to the theory of unintended consequences.
The shield encircles the earth, blotting out the sun.

Ms. yahoo reporter sez:   There is, of course, a very straightforward way to prevent this: reduce our carbon emissions.

Ya see how simple the solutions is?

'Of course', if it wasn't for us knuckledraggers who insist on staying warm.   And eating.   And other carbon intensive stuff.   Like breathing.     Mother Gaia wouldn't be having all this warmest issues.
.

The greenies won't let this happen. They will sue to stop the wanton, senseless destruction of the pristine natural environment...

... of the asteroid. You know they will.

I do not see a problem with this idea. If things do not go as expected then we call in SUPERMAN (AL GORE / DAVID SUZUKI) to inhale the dust and spit it back out to the next galaxy.

Here's another one: http://www.washington.edu/news/2012/08/20/experiment-would-test-cloud-geoengineering-as-way-to-slow-warming/

Even though it sounds like science fiction, researchers are taking a second look at a controversial idea that uses futuristic ships to shoot salt water high into the sky over the oceans, creating clouds that reflect sunlight and thus counter global warming.

University of Washington atmospheric physicist Rob Wood describes a possible way to run an experiment to test the concept on a small scale in a comprehensive paper published this month in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

If it’s nay Scottish, it's crrrap!!

I tried to follow the clues. First I discovered that the the article will be published in "the Official Journal" of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), a Scientific Committee of the International Council for Science (ICSU)". Next I visited the web site for the International Council for Science (ICSU) and found that it has been around for a while and gets it's funding from the international community, chiefly the U.S. but many countries contribute. It is headquartered in France. The main impression I left that site with was how bureaucratic it is, seemingly endless committees and acronyms. Finally I checked out Russell Bewick at the University of Strathclyde. He is apparently a pretty smart guy. His job is to brainstorm innovative and unconventional ideas ‘Visionary Concepts in Space Systems Engineering’. Within this topic he investigates the feasibility of space-based geoengineering applications, asteroid orbit manipulation and other visionary space concepts. Whew! Who knew.

3 Scottish Scientists, An Asteroid, And A Monkey.

Very disappointing.
I assumed one of Johnny Carson's more closely held"Carnac The Magnificent" schticks of great filthiness
was about to be released for the general amusement of a sad sack public in these very unhappy times.
.

Come on, people. This can't be a serious suggestion.

I suggest that the people who thought of this plan try to sell it during a lecture tour in January. The only proviso is that the lectures are held outside and the speakers all wear kilts as they are supposed to be worn. Given the expected weather for Scotland in January 2013, I predict that their next plan will involve installing giant rocket motors at the S. pole to move the earth closer to the sun.

How about we geo-engineer that asteroid, load all the greenies into it and give them a push off to another home.

I'm sure they could make it "sustainable".

Prescription for an Ice Age. I'd rather see vineyards in Scotland.

Im old enough to remember suzuki buying into and pushing the "COMING ICE AGE" it was the late 70s during his maggot phase.the solution was to spread coal dust over the ice caps to destroy their albedo.and partially melt them.
Then there is the climate action nerds that want to dump millions of tons of iron ore around the Galapagoes Islands to "counteract" ocean acidification.
Think Globaly, Act locally? Ok lets tar suzuki, and fill his breech cloth full of iron sand.
do it every year on Ira Einhorns special day; Lock- Dead- Girlfriend-In-A-Trunk/earth day

The IPCC is really stuck on stupid. One would swear they never had a exit strategy in case their scam was revealed. They convinced each other they had valid proof in their tweaked computer models and their useful idiots like Gore/Suzuki/Liz May etc. and legions of brainwashed fools and politicians (Oops...same thing) would carry the message that only higher taxes and lower standards of living would save the day. Now that their deceit is rotting in the light of exposure and their gravy train has derailed, they want to blow things up to save the planet. Great gawd of Gia, but I would love to see the computer model on that one. I suggest they start by sending the UN headquarters into space. I would gladly chip in to support that effort.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Bless you!
