We'll see how things are when the Sun explodes.

Yeah, that's Geo engineering.

It's a real solution to global warming... vs trying to get every industrialized nation to cut back on quality of life and even harder, trying to convince developing nations to stop developing or pay a premium to do so. (which they can't afford.)

This is so crazy, it must work!
How many billions do we have to burn for this thing?


A lot I am sure!

Yes, but will it help regarding all the other environmental problems caused by pollution, exploiting the environment etc.?

Geoengineering?  Yeah eventually, and even better.... it'll help all the problems NOT caused by pollution and exploiting the enviroment.

There are already effective ways to help out drought torn areas.

Plus it has the added bonus of being implementable.

I wouldn't be supprised if it was less than we've already burned trying to fight the global warming monster.

Good point.

Cool but I'd rather never get to the point where this is necessary. Enough sunlight hits the Sahara desert to power all of Europe. We should be getting more into renewable energy to stop burning gases.

Also I want to see Hydrogen fuel cell cars like the Honda Clarity (as seen on Top Gear)

...or we could just build 2 or 3 cold fusion reactors to power the whole earth. Sadly, we probably won't see these kind of reactors until 2030 at the earliest.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

i have a quick solution to solve the world from falling apart.

We gather up all the biological weapons from the US, let them off in area in which are unsustainable and highly pollution areas. reduce population by 4 billion. Move everyone to Europe, let areas of the tropically areas recover and help rebuild rainforests while sustainable produce food from areas in the Russian region and other global areas.

100 years of global recovery of rain forests around the world and general natural health.

If killing people is unethical and wrong over who dies, then instead move everyone to europe anyways, and enforce 1 child policy. In 100 years global population will halve and the health of the worl will recover.

Right now we are on the road of killing everyone from overpopulation causing massive famine and screwing up the world that nature turns against us making the world unlivable for humans.

So your big plan starts with genocide?

well thats if we cant get people to stop having more than 1 child. 

overpopulation is a Major issue that is constantly being disreguarded, action must happen, and if we dont want war and genocide in the future, a global action such as one child policy enforced gloabally is our only chance from global destabilsation from global warming + destruction of food producing land + lack of water. 

Absolutely retarded logic, in just about every way imaginable.  Over population is a problem...but it's a self regulating one.  People had large families because they had the need to on a historical sense.  Every day we move further into the future, family sizes shrink and shrink and shrink.  When food supplies start to get more scarce, harder to come by, etc people won't be having more children.
